02/04/2014 - Were there Gypsies in Sixteenth-Century Ireland?
We would like to extend our most cordial invitation to students and members of the general public to the first STAR Discussion of the 2013/2014 summer semester organised by the Department of Anglophone Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague!By the fifteenth century, Gypsies were beginning to migrate from their heartland in the Balkans to Central and Western Europe, where they were received with an intriguing combination of tolerance and hostility by their host societies. But did Gypsies reach as far as Ireland? Dr. Power makes the first attempt to solve this question. The discussion reveals new information about the Gypsies and Europe, as well as offering an insight into how historical research is conducted.
STAR (Student Audience for Research) runs a series of free seminars every academic year. The seminars are designed for students from MUP Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral Degree programmes, as well as for all interested public from other institutions. STAR seminar series serve as a laboratory for students, practitioners, and interested parties to freely discuss issues of various importance and interest, share and brainstorm ideas, get new insights.

Studenti mediálních studií mají v 11. patře na Jarově k dispozici televizní studio, kde si mohou vyzkoušet vedení rozhovorů a moderování. V rámci novinářského certifikátu natáčejí ve druhém a třetím ročníku vlastní reportáže. Ale stejně návštěva "opravdové televize", kde mohou sledovat vznik vysílání v přímém přenosu, je každoročně zážitkem, který se hluboce zapíše.
Digital Extremism and Emerging Threats: Insights from Expert Lectures at MUP
5. 5. 2026 Author: Oldřich Bureš
In April 2026, the Center for Security Studies and the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague hosted thought-provoking lectures examining the evolving landscape of violent extremism. Delivered by Sean McCafferty and Adam Hanzel, both Marie Skłodowska-Curie GLOCTER Project PhD fellows, the sessions explored how terrorist actors exploit the digital environment and how new, harder-to-define forms of extremism are reshaping traditional security frameworks. Together, the lectures offered students a comprehensive look at both the online dynamics of contemporary terrorism and the emerging challenges posed by accelerationist and nihilistic violent extremist movements.
