The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague (FEL CTU) has joined the international TACEO Network initiative, which is building a global infrastructure for “private computation”—that is, secure and verifiable data processing without the need to share data in an open format. Within this globally distributed network, the faculty acts as one of the independent node operators and participates in the operation of technology based on advanced cryptographic methods.
The Czech Technical University in Prague has completed the first stage of evaluation in the 2026 call of the ČVUT Starting Grant, a new internal funding program designed to support outstanding early-career researchers in establishing independent research groups at CTU.
An idea that could fundamentally transform how emergency services operate during crises took first place in the finals of the fifth annual Technology Olympiad. At the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, the winning project was the Smart Triage Band—a smart IoT wristband that can monitor a patient’s vital signs in a matter of seconds and helps medical personnel decide who to treat first before it’s too late. The winning teams were offered admission to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering without having to take entrance exams.
What should we do with waste that remains hazardous for millions of years? And how does such a repository actually work? Markéta Dohnálková from the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (SÚRAO) answers these questions in the latest episode of the podcast *V jádru dobrý*. You’ll learn why deep geological repositories are currently considered the safest solution for managing highly radioactive waste—and why other ideas, such as “sending it into space,” don’t hold up.
The Czech Republic is entering the next phase of building its quantum communication infrastructure. It now boasts a complete quantum backbone network connecting Prague, Brno, and Ostrava, through which shared information should flow securely, taking into account the potential risks associated with the advent of quantum computers. The Czech side presented the results of the pilot operation on April 14, 2026, at the ceremonial launch of the Czech Quantum Communication Infrastructure (CZQCI). The event was attended by representatives of the European Union, foreign consortia, government agencies, research institutions, and industry.
CTU Rector Prof. Michal Pěchouček joined the ceremonial launch of the Czech Quantum Communication Infrastructure (CZQCI) in Brno live from CTU’s headquarters in Prague, using the newly operational quantum communication network. In doing so, he provided a practical demonstration of the infrastructure’s functionality, which CTU has helped build as one of the project’s key partners.
