On 8 November 2021, the technology concern Rohde & Schwarz and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) of CTU signed a cooperation agreement. The agreement will enable the long-term development of activities in the field of education and research and development.

Researchers and students of FEL CTU will thus be able to use state-of-the-art instrumentation and technologies, such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers produced by the Rohde & Schwarz plant in Vimperk. In the field of research and development, the contractual cooperation envisages the forming of joint research teams and sharing of research capacities.

In the area of educational activities, Rohde & Schwarz will support excursions and exchange visits of students and employees of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague and Vimperk. The students will thus have the opportunity to participate in an internship at the company, which is a leader in measurement technology, land, sea and air communications, radio monitoring, and image and sound processing systems.

"I am pleased that the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of CTU has acquired a partner who is a leader in research and development in its fields and is interested in supporting the education of our students in electrical engineering and computer science. In research and development, we will discuss the establishment of joint research teams in which our researchers will be able to contribute to the innovations of Rohde & Schwarz," said Prof. Petr Páta, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in Prague.

"The cooperation agreement with FEL CTU is another evolutionary step in our mutual relations. With this step we want to support the practical part of the education of future graduates and enable them to meet the latest technologies that our company develops and produces. One of the sub-objectives of deepening this cooperation is also to link activities with the high school environment so that together we can increase the interest of new students in technical fields. That is to say, fields that have a promising future on the labor market in the next decade," adds Milan Černý, Head of Human Resources at Rohde & Schwarz Vimperk, on the occasion of the signing.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering of CTU develops cutting-edge research in the areas of technological trends that will affect the way we work, travel, spend our leisure time and live in the future. From telecommunications networks and alternative energy sources to artificial intelligence and robotics, bioinformatics, cyber security and space technologies - all these future phenomena can be researched and studied at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. The FEL contributes one third to the overall scientific output of CTU, measured by impacted publications and citations, and its share of cutting-edge publications and foreign patents exceeds 40 percent.
