University of Pardubice

The University of Pardubice is a public university founded in 1950, originally as a chemical institute, today associating seven faculties (e.g. chemical-technology, transport, economics or health). In 2013, it founded the Center for Materials and Nanotechnology (CEMNAT), which is dedicated to the synthesis of low-dimensional nanostructures, including nanotubes, nanofibers and nanolayers used in medicine, catalysis, hydrogen technologies, solar cells and the space industry. The university is also a leader in the NANOBIO project, which creates nanobiomaterials for drug delivery and diagnostics, and in the NANOMAT initiative, focused on polymer nanomaterials for environments with low thermal conductivity or radiation detection. International cooperation is also significant, for example with Stanford within the SPARK Global Program for technology transfer into practice. The university offers over 130 study programs at bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels, which ranks it among medium-sized domestic universities with approximately 8,000 students. Thanks to its connection with the Center for Technology Transfer (CTTZ), involvement in international innovation networks (e.g. NANOPROGRESS) and strong industrial ties, it supports both research and practical application of new materials and technologies.
