The traditional Majáles spring festival is organised by the Student Union. At the Faculty of Arts, there is a cycle of lectures featuring interesting personalities from all walks of life, and exhibitions of art and photography are put on in the Top Floor gallery. The Faculty of Science is closely involved in a range of events bringing science to a wide general public, including the regular Chemistry at the Castle festival. The Faculty of Fine Arts holds regular exhibitions in its own Student gallery.
In addition, a range of competitions takes place at the individual faculties. Every year, talented young mathematicians compete at the Vojtěch Jarník International Mathematical Competition, run by the Faculty of Science. The same faculty also hosts a Chess Competition. The annual Translation Competition organized by the Faculty of Arts is a holder of the Label 2009 award.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“There are many events in the womb of time which will be delivered.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
