Research is carried out at all eight faculties, and also at the university institutes: the Klokner Institute, the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies, and the Institute of Technical and Experimental Physics.
We aim to maintain and enhance CTU's reputation as a prestigious university where the emphasis on quality science and research earns the institution a significant role in the European research and education space.

Association of Research Universities
Charles University, Masaryk University, Palacký University in Olomouc, the Czech Technical University in Prague and the University of Chemical Technology in Prague jointly established the Association of Research Universities on 2 July. This is a fundamental step that will lead to the improvement of the position of Czech universities in international competition. The universities share a vision of increasing quality and international competitiveness in teaching and research. Together, they want to work on organizational, legislative and budgetary measures that will make them one of the best European universities in the coming years.
