The Faculty of Civil Engineering at CTU in Prague is restructuring its Civil Engineering study program. Starting in the 2027/2028 academic year, the Bachelor's program will be three years long, and the Master's program two years. This change will facilitate study abroad opportunities while enabling graduates to enter professional practice sooner and more easily.
Autonomous navigation in challenging terrain, night-time operations, and supplying military units without direct human control. Researchers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE), together with the University of Defence and VOP CZ, successfully tested the autonomous capabilities of the TAROS unmanned ground vehicle during the international military exercise ARTEX 2026 in Portugal. Over two weeks, the platform covered more than 100 kilometres, including several dozen kilometres autonomously. A major achievement was its participation in a resupply mission in which the operator merely supervised the vehicle's operation.
Effective science communication helps bring research beyond university walls, make science accessible to wider audiences, and open up new opportunities for collaboration and career development.
