Key takeaways:
- Mentorship is essential for emerging professionals in orthopaedics
- Personalized medicine – not mean value thinking – is the future of orthopaedic research
- AI and robotics enhance surgical capability, but cannot replace the human touch
- Transparency in AI use is critical for maintaining research integrity
- Sports medicine is evolving toward prevention-first, individualized care

Stay curious, stay collaborative – as Professor Hirschmann reminds us, every contribution matters in the scientific community.

Prague is a city where centuries of history continue to shape modern science. Here are some fascinating ways history inspires science in the Czech capital:

🧠 The birthplace of modern genetics
Gregor Mendel, known as the father of genetics, conducted his groundbreaking experiments just outside Prague. His work laid the foundation for everything from DNA research to personalised medicine.

⚗️ A legacy of alchemy to chemistry
Prague was once a hub for alchemists under Emperor Rudolf II. While their goals were mystical, their experiments helped pave the way for modern chemistry and laboratory science.

🏥 One of Europe’s oldest medical faculties
Charles University, founded in 1348, is home to one of the oldest medical schools in the world - still advancing research and training future clinicians today.

🦠 The discovery of blood groups refinement
Czech serologist Jan Janský played a key role in classifying human blood into four groups, contributing to safer blood transfusions and modern haematology.
