At the 51st edition of the international agricultural exhibition Země živitelka, the University of South Bohemia showcased selected delicacies and beverages created by the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters and the Faculty of Agriculture and Technology. While hundreds of visitors came to the university's booth to taste fish pâté, soup, or university beer, the university's leadership was forging new collaborations and important partnerships. The rector of the University of South Bohemia, Pavel Kozák, confirmed the deepening of the partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic by signing a Memorandum of Cooperation.
