FunGlass to Join Challenger Science 2025 Program

In 2024, FunGlass proudly joined the Challenger Science program with two outstanding participants — Dr. Jozef Kraxner and Dr. Martin Michálek. Their involvement showcased our commitment to connecting science with real-world practice, and we are proud of their achievements.

This year, FunGlass is successful again! For 2025, two FunGlass teams have been accepted into the second year of the Challenger Science experiential educational program. Over the course of three months, participants will dive into the world of entrepreneurial thinking, learning how to transform their innovative ideas into market-ready products. The program offers workshops, individual coaching, inspiring stories from scientist-entrepreneurs, and a final presentation before an expert audience.

Our winning projects for 2025:

  1. Production of In-House Reference Glass Materials
    Team members: Dr. Hana Kaňková; Dr. Dagmar Galusková
    Alternate: Dr. Andrea Chrastinová

  2. Innovative Alkaline Water Electrolysis for Green Hydrogen Production
    Team members: Dr. Michal Žitňan; M.Sc. Mir Saeed Sajjadi
