In addition to the official 2016 CEITEC Christmas party, Albert helped to organize the Secret Santa party for the A26 building. Everybody prepared some food, drinks, presents were given and we got to know each other a little better. Sorin gave us a taster of his stand-up comedy art, and we all sang under the Arabidopsis Christmas tree.

Annual visit of a Christmas market 2016

It has become a tradition to dress warm, get some mulled wine and enjoy the atmosphere of a local Christmas market. This year we visited Zelni trhNamesti Svobody and tried some local food at the Stopkova restaurant. We celebrated the successful year full of publications and accepted grants. We finished our trip with the typical selfie under the popular statue of Jost on a horse.
