Founded in 2011 on the basis of six major Brno universities and research institutions. CEITEC's main priorities are to maintain a motivating and dynamic international scientific environment, to provide a modern research infrastructure that meets the highest standards, and a policy of open communication and equal opportunities not only now but also in the future.

Central European Institute of Technology – Masaryk University (CEITEC MU)

is an independent university institute, which was established at Masaryk University as part of the CEITEC - CEO Center of Excellence. CEITEC MU forms a key part of the state-of-the-art edge research infrastructure, that was built in 2014 at the University Campus in Brno-Bohunice and provides top equipment and optimal conditions for basic and applied research, especially in the field of life sciences. The head of CEITEC MU is Pavel Plevka, Ph.D.

The main priorities of CEITEC are the international dimension of research cooperation and its interdisciplinary character. The connecting element between scientific disciplines is mainly the shared laboratories, which create optimal conditions for solving multidisciplinary questions in the fields of structural biology, genomics and proteomics, molecular medicine, neuroscience, nanotechnology and microtechnology.

CEITEC Brno University of Technology

It is part of the CEITEC Centre of Scientific Excellence. Since 2011, it has been a key part of a top research infrastructure with unique equipment and conditions for basic and applied research in the field of advanced nanotechnologies and advanced materials and cybernetics.

There are a total of three areas of research at CEITEC BUT. Our main priorities include not only international research cooperation, but also its interdisciplinary nature. CEITEC Nano shared laboratories operate in an open access mode and provide ideal conditions for solving multidisciplinary issues, as their equipment can also be used by external users, institutions or industry partners. The head of CEITEC BUT is prof. Radimír Vrba.

The 18 research groups currently involved deal with ceramic, advanced polymer, bioelectric, low-dimensional or epitaxial materials, as well as biomaterials. Within the development of new materials, we also have research groups interested in materials characterization and advanced instrumentation per se, and even the development of advanced coatings directly for industry. Researchers at CEITEC BUT are working on the preparation and characterization of nanostructures, molecular nanostructures, nanomagnetism and spintronics or magneto-optical ThZ spectroscopy. They also excel in research on future energies, plasma technologies or experimental biophotonics. Our research focus is also extended to include developments in cybernetics and robotics.

Central European Institute of Technology - Mendel University in Brno (CEITEC MENDELU)

is an independent institute at Mendel University which was established within the framework of the CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology. CEITEC includes the leading Brno universities and two research institutes which joined forces in order to establish a centre of scientific excellence. Director of the CEITEC MENDELU is Mgr.Jan Zouhar, PhD.

Mendel University in Brno is the oldest independent university of agriculture and forestry in the Czech lands. It was established in 1919 as the University of Agriculture in Brno and existed under this name until 1994. Its establishment was the culmination of a long-standing effort to establish an agricultural college in Moravia, which has always been one of the countries with the most advanced agriculture in Central Europe. The head of CEITEC MENDELU is Jan Zouhar, Ph.D.

Central European Institute of Technology - University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno (CEITEC VETUNI)

It is an independent higher education institute established at the Veterinary and Pharmaceutical University as part of the scientific centre of excellence CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology. CEITEC is an inter-university centre in which four major Brno universities and two research institutes based in Brno cooperate. The Director of CEITEC, VETUNI Brno is Prof. MVDr. Jiří Smola, CSc.

The University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno was founded as the College of Veterinary Medicine in December 1918, at that time as the first new university of the Czechoslovak state. In its conception and organisation of teaching, it followed the College of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. The school consists of three faculties, which in total comprise 28 institutes and 6 clinics.

Central European Institute of Technology - Institute of Physics of Materials of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CEITEC IPM)

It is an independent department established at the Institute of Physics of Materials of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic as a part of the scientific centre of excellence CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology. CEITEC is an inter-university centre in which four major Brno universities and two research institutes based in Brno cooperate. The head of the CEITEC Institute of the Faculty of Science is doc. Ing. Luboš Náhlík, Ph.D.

The activities of CEITEC IPM are focused on the interdisciplinary field of materials science. The focus of its activity lies mainly in basic research of metallic materials. The institute focuses on the physical nature of processes occurring in metallic materials during creep, fatigue and the interaction of creep with fatigue and other types of mechanical loading and on research of the structure and selected physical properties of materials. In both these research areas, the aim is to clarify the relationship between the behaviour and properties of materials and their structural and microstructural characteristics.

Central European Institute of Technology - Veterinary Research Institute (CEITEC VRI)

is an independent department established at the Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine as part of the CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology scientific centre of excellence. CEITEC is an inter-university centre in which four major Brno universities and two research institutes based in Brno cooperate. The head of CEITEC VRI is MVDr. Martin Anger, Ph.D.

The Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine was founded in 1955 by decision of the Minister of Agriculture as an institute of the then Czechoslovak Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It is the only professional research institute in the Czech Republic focused on research in the field of veterinary medicine with a significant share of applied research. However, its focus also covers a wide area of preclinical veterinary medicine with intersection into human medicine, ecology and other fields.
