The Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University in Prague is opening a new stage in the operation of the Jaroslav Fragner Gallery (GJF), taking it over and opening it as an open platform for the presentation of architecture and related fields in 2027. Applications for the selection procedure for the position of director are open until June 26, 2026.
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU in Prague has officially opened a new quantum technology laboratory, which includes a quantum communication facility designed for research, testing and teaching. This unique facility will enable the testing of quantum communication under real-world conditions, the training of a new generation of experts, and the development of technologies for the secure digital infrastructure of the future. The laboratory was established as part of the CZ.QCI consortium in close collaboration with Palacký University in Olomouc and, in addition to research and education, aims to become part of the emerging European quantum communication infrastructure.
Education, science and research, cooperation with industry or the need for international cooperation. These are just some of the topics that are currently being actively addressed by the Prague and Brno technology universities. Their representatives agreed at a meeting in the Moravian metropolis that it is important to find the path to the desired goal together.
The aim of the partnership is to support joint scientific activities, develop the expertise of students and academic staff, and strengthen cooperation between the two institutions in the field of nuclear chemistry and related disciplines.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University, students, in cooperation with the Czech Technical University and the Prague 6 district, transformed a part of Kolejní Street. Instead of a space filled with cars, a temporary sports and recreation zone was created for students, local residents and children from nearby schools. The project, based on the principles of tactical urbanism, shows how the public space of the Dejvice Campus could function in the future. The grand opening will take place as part of the opening of the FAZÓNA exhibition of studio works on Monday, May 25 at 5:00 p.m.
A Ph.D. student Ondřej Štogl from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) has received a Fulbright Scholarship and will leave for Stanford University in the fall. In his research at FEE and Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC), he focuses on Vehicle-to-Grid technology, which makes it possible to use electric vehicle batteries not only for driving, but also to stabilize the electricity grid. California is the perfect place for this research. Thanks to its high share of photovoltaics, it is already dealing with problems that Europe may face in the future.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing events at universities. Representatives of technical universities who met at the Brno University of Technology (BUT) agreed on the need for strategic use of AI. The main question remains how to effectively and responsibly integrate it into the life and activities of educational institutions.
The new Danjiang Bridge, the world's longest single-pylon asymmetric suspension bridge, opened in Taipei on May 12. The project was created by Zaha Hadid Architects in London, where the bridge's appearance was co-designed by architect Saman Saffarian, who is currently the head of the Model Design Institute at the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University in Prague.
What role does reputation play in choosing an alma mater? How important is subject diversity and a modern teaching style? Which foreign universities can serve as inspiring models for us? Why is mathematics relevant in the world of increasingly complex algorithms of advanced artificial intelligence? And what is the use of knowing the derivative of integrals for future bridge builders?
The Rector's Sports Day, one of the largest joint events of students and employees of the Czech Technical University in Prague, attracted a thousand athletes this year. The offer was varied, with twenty-three disciplines to choose from.
