Czech Technical University in Prague will strengthen the development of quantum computing skills of students and train new quantum computer experts. This will enable the university to connect to IBM's quantum computer network.
Faculty of Information Technology of Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FIT) in cooperation with the University of Antwerp is now offering a unique and selective Master's specialisation in Digital Business Engineering, which enables students to obtain two Master's degrees at the same time. The Master's specialisation focuses on the integration of information technology, business and economics knowledge in an international environment and emphasises digital business and innovation. It opens doors to international academic and business environments.
It was the beginning of the 1980s when a young engineer from the Department of Electromagnetic Fields developed the necessary technical equipment for the treatment of cancer patients using so-called microwave hyperthermia. To date, more than 1500 patients have undergone treatment with this method in the Czech Republic, many of whom have saved their lives and improved their quality of life. Read the interview with Prof. Jan Vrba, who has been working at Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University since 1972, devoting most of his professional life to the effects of microwave radiation on the human body. Prof. Vrba's research has been continued by several of his former PhD students and also by his two sons.
Almost twenty thousand people visited the fair in three days. The CTU exposition certainly could not complain about lack of interest. The exhibits on display, refreshments in the form of blue fizzy drinks, as well as the chill out zone and the sprayers' graffiti wall attracted visitors. And first of all, of course, the stands of individual faculties with information about studying and student life at CTU.
The prestigious European PoliRuralPlus grant worth almost six million euros was awarded to CTU Faculty of Information Technology (CTU FIT ) as the main coordinator at the beginning of this year. The three-year project, prepared with other Czech partners CCSS and Plan4All, involves 20 European partners. The main objective of the project is to improve and support the sustainability of regional development through the use of artificial intelligence working with spatial data.

CTU Space Research is the first university team in the Czech Republic to design, test and build high-performance rockets and other space technologies. Under the auspices of the Rector of CTU and the Dean of CTU Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Prague, enthusiastic male and female students work together to develop the propulsion, construction, avionics and design of the rocket. The offer is varied and unique in the Czech Republic so far, thus attracting interested students not only from CTU but also from other Czech universities.
The aim of the research led by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (CTU) and in cooperation with the Bosch in České Budějovice - Robert Bosch spol. s. r. o., the French EURECOM University and the University of Oulu in Finland, launched this year, is semantic communication and information processing from industrial machines using machine learning for sixth generation (6G) mobile networks.
It started with playing computer games to relax after school and ended with winning 100,000 CZK in a competition and a job offer on the top. That is how one could sum up the journey of Ondřej Baštař, a third-year student of the bachelor's programme in Cybernetics and Robotics (KyR) at FEE CTU, who won the Vrgineers competition. The task was to program an image processing algorithm for a VR headset on a graphics card, which is used to train pilots in augmented reality.
Twenty future transport pilots from Ukraine are currently studying in the Czech Republic. The training takes place in cooperation with F Air. From the summer semester onwards, CTU in Prague will be an independent guarantor of their training and the number of students will increase to twenty-five. The project, to which the Czech Republic contributed from the Reconstruction Programme for Ukraine, was presented during a meeting between the Rector of the National Aviation University in Kiev (NAU) Volodymyr Šulha and the Rector of CTU Vojtech Petráček. The meeting was attended by Minister Jan Lipavsky on behalf of the Czech government, and representatives of the Ukrainian and American embassies were also present - the USA also financially supported the project.
