Milan Bareš appointed rector of Masaryk University for second term

Neurologist Martin Bareš will stay on as rector of Brno’s Masaryk University for another four-year term. He was officially appointed to the position by President Petr Pavel on Thursday after receiving the backing of the academic senate earlier this year.

Mr. Bareš, who is 54, is a professor of neurology. Before becoming rector in September 2019, he served for many years as vice-rector and briefly as dean of the medical faculty.

Masaryk University, which is the second largest university in Czechia, has over 33,000 students at its ten faculties.
