Albertus Award
We are involved in organizing the Albertus Awards. This year marks its seventh edition. The award consistently highlights the importance of quality teaching in physics and computer science and supports educators who can inspire and engage their students.
Despite many initiatives, one of the main issues remains the shortage of qualified teachers in these fields. Organisers agree that one way to improve this situation is through positive motivation and visibility for the best teachers. "Teachers are key to our future, yet they often do not receive enough attention," warns Assoc. Prof. Michal Žák from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University.
The Albertus Award also connects active educators and promotes the sharing of experiences and innovative approaches to teaching.
How to Nominate
Anyone can nominate – individuals, schools, students, and parents.
Nomination deadline: 31 May 2026

The award is intended for both novice and experienced teachers of physics and computer science. Nominations are submitted via the form on the award's website.
Who is Behind the Award
The organization involves, for example, the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists or the Czech Head project.
The award is jointly presented by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University, the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists, its Physics Education Society, the Czech Physical Society, Elixir to Schools, Czech Head, Planetum in Prague, and the World of Technology in Ostrava. The World of Technology in Dolní Vítkovice also engages in popularising science through its interactive exhibitions and educational programmes for schools.
