The 52nd edition of the Pharmaceutical Ball took place as tradition dictates in the kingdom of pianos, the PETROF Gallery in Hradec Králové. The beautiful spaces of the PETROF Gallery have been an integral part of the Pharmaceutical Ball since 2019. Each year, the ball is held in an elegant spirit, significantly aided by the environment of exhibited pianos and other musical instruments.
This year's ball was ceremoniously opened by the Dean of the Pharmaceutical Faculty, Associate Professor Jaroslav Roh Ph.D., who welcomed all esteemed guests who arrived at the PETROF Gallery. Among the attendees were also Vice-Rector of Charles University, Markéta Martínková, and the President of the Czech Pharmaceutical Chamber, Aleš Krebs.
Throughout the evening, visitors could enjoy piano performances in the PETROF showroom, dance performances by students of the Pharmaceutical Faculty, and then everyone was drawn to the dance floor by the Yamaband, which has been a part of the Pharmaceutical Ball in Hradec Králové for several years.
An equally important part of the evening was the rich raffle, culminating in the drawing of the main prizes of the ball. The Pharmaceutical Ball remains not only a beloved annual tradition but also an opportunity for students, academic staff, and faculty alumni to come together.
