Data scientists are one of the most sought-after professions today because they can extract valuable information from large volumes of data in their research. To do this, however, they must be able to use programming languages specifically developed for data science. However, these languages often contain a large number of errors which can then bias the research results. Detecting and eliminating these errors is the work of Pierre Donat-Bouillud, Ph.D. from the Programming Research Laboratory at Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague (FIT CTU), who received a grant from the European Commission for his research.

Nearly fifty high school students took advantage of the invitation to the "Taste Mechanical Engineering" event at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague.

The eForce FEE Prague Formula team from Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University (FEL CTU) took a big step forward this year. Today, at the National Technical Museum in Prague, they presented a fusion of a piloted and autonomous electroformula car that they have developed in recent months. The student team, which is among the top ten in Europe, has so far developed the autonomous and piloted formula separately. It has combined the technologies to comply with the rules of top competitions. The first of the four prestigious races awaits the eForce in early July. The team consists of students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FS) of CTU.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket carried the HardPix radiation detector, developed by the Institute of Technical and Experimental Physics of Czech Technical University and manufactured by BD Sensors, into space on 12 June at 23:35 CET. HardPix will thus join the SATRAM detector, which has been operating successfully in Earth orbit for more than 10 years and on which the CTU Institute of Physics and Astronomy also collaborated with BD Sensors.
