About CEITEC
CEITEC is a project aiming to set up a Central European centre of excellence in Brno
Together with local universities and research institutes (Masaryk University, Brno University of Technology, Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry in Brno, Institute of Scientific Instruments, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of Physics of Materials, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and the Veterinary Research Institute.) a laboratory will be outfitted with first-class equipment and facilities which will foster the perfect conditions for basic and applied research in the field of life sciences and advanced materials and technology.
The CEITEC project came about firstly to provide appropriate mechanisms to aid basic and applied research based in the South Moravia region in reaching the highest levels. Its purpose is not only to connect the activities within this region with the European Research community, but also to facilitate the conditions necessary for cooperation with the private sector.
CEITEC will become an important European centre of science and education. The project will contribute to the science research capacity of the Czech Republic and also strengthen relations between Czech science and top international research institutes and companies. In the framework of research cooperation projects and joint technological development, CEITEC will create and maintain quality relationships with leading international scientific and research institutions. Increased collaboration will bring about significant positive effects for both Brno and the South Moravia region, and for the whole area of European Research.
CEITEC is built on the synergy of 9 research programs.
The main benefit of the CEITEC project is the unique combination of life and traditional sciences. The core of the project consists of nine research programs (Advanced Nanotechnology and Microtechnology, Advanced Materials, Advanced Communication and Control Technologies, Structural Biology, Genomics and Proteomics of Plant Systems, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, Molecular Animal Medicine and Biomedical Technologies), bringing together research groups specialising in specific, progressive scientific fields and disciplines. Multiple synergies are generated by the project, in particular the interaction between programs addressing multidisciplinary issues across the research groups.
The R & D activities of all research programs and their associated groups are designed to meet four goals set by CEITEC. The breadth of departmental activity required to fulfil the goals demands the cooperation of various teams in various stages of research and development. Further unifying elements are the so-called “core facilities” (large laboratory units) that are available to all staff across the research programs.
