The Simona Kijonková Foundation is becoming a new partner of the CTU Interdisciplinary Near Future Challenge (INFC) program and will support its development with 6 million crowns. The donation, which is the largest one-time support the foundation has provided to date, will enable young scientific teams to develop interdisciplinary research with the potential to create new technological spin-off companies and transfer scientific results into practice.

Entrepreneurship and transfer at CTU will be helped to accelerate by Sintija Meissner, a star of the startup scene. Since the summer, she has been working as the new head of the Department under which this agenda falls.

How can architecture create places where people genuinely feel good? According to Kateřina Goryczka from the Klokner Institute at CTU, knowledge of buildings, materials, and technologies alone is not enough. Architects need to understand more deeply how the environments in which we live affect our mental health, behaviour, relationships, and everyday lives. Thanks to a Fulbright-Masaryk Scholarship, Kateřina is now heading to MIT in Boston, where she will further develop this approach through a next-generation tiny house concept. In the interview, she also discusses cities designed genuinely for people, sustainability, and the conditions required for meaningful collaboration across disciplines.

How does artificial intelligence actually think? Why does it decide the way it does in a specific situation? The answer to these questions is helped by the PANSim tool, which was created as a bachelor's thesis by a student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, CTU, Bc. Erol Medenčević, under the supervision of Ing. Jakub Med, in cooperation with the team of doc. Lukáš Chrpá from the Department of Industrial Informatics of the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics, CTU (CIIRC CTU). The project received the Best Demonstration Award on July 1, 2026 at the ICAPS 2026 conference in Dublin, Ireland - the world's most prestigious meeting of experts in automated planning.
