State-of-the-art equipment, cutting-edge technologies and international cooperation. This is what research at MU is all about.
We are dedicated to establishing the right priorities, committed to securing sufficient funding and fully aware of the ethical and social implications of our research results.
This year’s Masaryk University expedition to Antarctica will have 23 members divided into two teams. Part of the expedition will head to Johann Gregor Mendel Czech Antarctic Station, where they will spend about two months, while a smaller team of nine people will work on Nelson Island for over two weeks.
Cross-border cooperation between three universities and one start-up brought Masaryk University significant success in technology transfer at the end of the year 2022. A contract worth 441,000 euros will enable a new technology to be put into practice that significantly increases the success rate of assisted reproduction.
Following the example of other world universities, Masaryk University has established its own International Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB). The body of international scientific advisors increases the prestige of the university and brings a much-needed outside perspective.
Vice-rector for Research and Doctoral Studies Šárka Pospíšilová presented to 33 doctoral study programme graduates and their supervisors their awards for excellent achievements.
The International Scientific Advisory Board provides us with very welcome feedback. The ISAB helps MU establish research priorities, develop scientific strategies and boost international cooperation.
Our scientists have achieved success at national and international levels. In addition to issuing a wide range of significant scientific publications, we regularly organize seminars and lectures on science and research conducted at MU.
Access to central laboratories equipped with unique instruments is provided to other university units as well as other academic workplaces and even private companies.
MU Research infrastructures are an important pillar of research and innovation systems.
Their significance is emphasized by our participation in 14 projects listed in the Czech National Roadmap for Large RDI Infrastructures.
Eleven of these projects are also part of research infrastructures of pan-European interest included in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) for 2021.
