Do you also have lots of notes and struggle to make sense of them? Bc. Petr Kudrnovský, a student of the Faculty of Information Technology at CTU in Prague (FIT CTU), designed and implemented a web application called ThinkLink as part of his bachelor’s thesis. The application helps users manage their digital notes more effectively by automatically finding notes that are thematically and contextually related. This significantly simplifies orientation and work with a personal knowledge base. For his work, he received the Dean’s Award.

During his two-day visit to the capital city, President Petr Pavel visited the campus of the Czech Technical University in Prague. Together with his wife Eva and representatives of the Prague City Hall, he headed to the unique Little Moon City Prague training facility, located near the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

The year 2026 will mark fifty years since architecture studies became independent at the Czech Technical University in Prague. To mark this occasion, the Faculty of Architecture at CTU in Prague has prepared a year-long program for the academic community, graduates, and the general public.

In the latest call for Marie Curie COFUND projects, 31 out of 136 submitted projects were selected. Of the €106 million allocated, €3.6 million will go to CTU. As part of the PICTUS project, 23 PhD students will receive financial support for a period of four years. The range of 35 topics offered by leading scientists from CTU will be expanded in future rounds.

Two papers presenting research results from the GGOAT research group and the Algorithms Laboratory at FIT CTU have been accepted to the main program of the AAAI 2026 Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), which is regarded as one of the most prominent conferences in the field of artificial intelligence and holds the highest A* rating. The publications succeeded in record-breaking competition of nearly 31,000 submitted papers, from which only around 5,000 were selected for the main conference program following a rigorous peer-review process.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way people learn languages. However, research by the Department of Languages at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague shows that the key to success is not the technology itself, but the way it is used in teaching. The effective integration of new technologies into teaching is only possible if there is also innovation in teaching methods.

From 16 February 2026, India’s capital, New Delhi, will become the centre of global debate on artificial intelligence (AI) for one week. The India AI Impact Expo and the accompanying two-day India AI Impact Summit 2026 will take place there, attracting up to 200,000 participants across more than 70,000 m², according to the organisers. Government representatives, as well as leaders of global technology and industrial companies and research institutions, will gather in the Indian capital. Thanks to the cooperation between CIIRC CTU and INDRC, which succeeded in securing a place among the exhibitors in a strong international competition, the event will feature a compact yet content-rich exhibition of Czech AI technologies and research.

The Prague 6 Project Day is being held today at the CTU faculties for the third time. Pupils from the 8th and 9th grades of Prague 6 elementary schools set out to explore technology – and maybe in a few years they will become our students!

The student dormitories in Strahov will undergo a major renovation, as agreed today by the new rector of the Czech Technical University (ČVUT), Michal Pěchouček, and Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. The Prime Minister and Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch visited the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University (FA ČVUT) to learn about student projects focused on solving real problems in cities, regions, and the state.

Prof. Michal Pěchouček takes up the position of rector today and introduces his team. Only half of the team comes from within CTU, and the university council will also include people who responded to the newly elected rector's call to the public last year. The vice-rectors are strong personalities, and their portfolios correspond to the demands that the new rector places on his mission. His goal is to improve the quality of research and teaching, open CTU to the world, attract top scientists from abroad, and establish stronger relationships with representatives of domestic industry.
