On 30 November 2021, a ceremony was held in the Bethlehem Chapel to award medals to CTU experts for exceptional performance in times of crisis. Rector of CTU, doc. Vojtěch Petráček, awarded 105 medals to researchers and other personalities who, through their innovations and personal or team involvement, contributed to the solution of the coronavirus pandemic situation in the Czech Republic and abroad. The medals were designed for this special occasion by Czech medallist, sculptor and publicist Michal Vitanovský.

Rector of CTU, doc. Vojtěch Petráček, said at the beginning of the gala evening: "I would like to thank all those who joined the fight against coronavirus on their own initiative. Last year, not only our researchers, but also students and volunteers came up with ideas. What our university accomplished during the pandemic is incredible! And it's great that the work of CTU experts continues and new innovations and valuable initiatives keep emerging. Tonight we are meeting with representatives of our core teams and representatives of the various faculties and units, whom I would also like to thank very much. Without your work and enthusiasm, the first wave of the pandemic would have been much more of a crisis."
