Central European Institute of Technology

Research Areas

CEITEC was the first scientific centre in the Czech Republic to integrate research and development in the field of life sciences, advanced materials and technologies to such an extent. The project is based on the interdisciplinary study of seven research areas which allows to study objects of living and inanimate nature at all available levels of complexity.

The knowledge and experience of scientists from the six research institutes involved is divided into various research groups according to their expertise. Of the total, the majority are under Masaryk University, whereas the rest under the Brno University of Technology, the Veterinary and Pharmaceutical University, the Institute of Physics of ASCR, the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and the Mendel University.

CEITEC Brno University of Technology

CEITEC Brno University of Technology is part of CEITEC's "scientific centre of excellence". Since 2016, it forms a key component of research infrastructure with facilities and conditions for both basic and applied research in advanced nanotechnology and micro-technology and advanced materials. There are two research areas at CEITEC BUT where a total of 12 research groups dealing with ceramic materials, cybernetics for material science, advanced polymer materials or smart nano-devices, experimental bio-photonics, preparation and characterisation of nanostructures, development of methods of analysis and measurement, as well as characterisation of materials and advanced coatings. Both research programs offer the possibility of PhD study.

In 2018, two ERC grants are launched at CEITEC BUT, one of which focuses on more efficient treatment of cancer, and the other deals with the development of new technologies of spectroscopy and microscopy. An important achievement is also the acquisition of FET Open projects and the solution of two Teaming in the first phase.
