CTU students and researchers can apply by 8 September 2026 for the Ready! programme, which helps turn ideas into real-world start-ups and spin-offs. A panel will select 16 participants for the new cohort, which will run from October 2026 to January 2027. Applications are open to students at all levels, from bachelor’s to doctoral study, as well as researchers with an entrepreneurial idea at any stage of development.

A team from the Centre for Knowledge Management at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (FEE CTU) is participating in the DEUSS (Decentralised EU Securities Service) project, which aims to create a unified digital platform for issuing and trading digitalised bonds across the European Union. The project, funded by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade under the National Recovery Plan, is now in the final stage of development.

The challenge was to design and build an aircraft with the best possible aerodynamic performance, capable of covering the greatest possible distance within 120 seconds while carrying the maximum payload. This was the task set for this year’s Air Cargo Challenge, held in Stuttgart, Germany, where 37 student teams from around the world competed against one another. CTU AeroLab, comprising students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Transportation Sciences at CTU, secured an impressive fourth place – the best result ever achieved by a Czech team in the history of this international competition.

Staying hydrated is important! And now at FEE you can find three new places to refresh yourself—with water just the way you like it. Two dispensers are located at the Karlovo náměstí campus, and the third one is in Dejvice. No app is required to use the dispensers.

Diana Kunová, a student in the Cybernetics and Robotics programme at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE), Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), took part in the RoboCup 2026 World Championship, held this year in Songdo, Incheon, South Korea. Competing as a member of the XLC – WYLDFYRE team, she represented Slovakia in the RoboCupJunior Soccer 2:2 Infrared category, finishing 11th among 24 national teams. In the special SuperTeam competition, her international team advanced to the semifinals and ultimately secured fourth place.

Dr. Jiří Horyna, a PhD graduate of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU and a researcher with the Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) group, has received the Joseph Fourier Prize for Computer Sciences 2026, awarded by the Embassy of France in the Czech Republic for outstanding research in computer science. He received the award for his research on decentralized state estimation and control of autonomous unmanned vehicle swarms.

How does artificial intelligence actually think? Why does it make one decision rather than another in a given situation? These are the questions addressed by PANSim, a tool developed as part of the bachelor's thesis of Bc. Erol Medenčević, a student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE), Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), under the supervision of Ing. Jakub Med, in collaboration with the team of Associate Professor Lukáš Chrpa from the Department of Industrial Informatics at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC CTU). On July 1, 2026, the project received the Best Demonstration Award at ICAPS 2026 in Dublin, Ireland, the world's premier conference on automated planning.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE) has extended its double degree agreement with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at RWTH Aachen University for another ten years. The amendment, signed by the deans of both faculties and the rectors of both universities, extends the partnership until 2037. It marks another important milestone in a long-standing collaboration that enables students to earn degrees from two of Europe's leading technical universities.

Is your Bachelor's or Master's thesis focused on sustainability, energy, environmental protection or the environmental impact of technologies? Submit it to Czech Envi Thesis, a nationwide competition recognising the best university theses addressing environmental topics.

Three students from three different countries at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE), designed and successfully tested an exceptionally energy-efficient acoustic gunshot detection system in the course of a single semester. The international team – Hanka Šerifi, Riku Kawasaki, and Theodoros Kokkoris – developed a device that runs a neural network directly on a single-chip microcontroller. With a peak power consumption of just 24 mW, the system could eventually operate for years on a battery or a small solar panel without requiring a connection to the electrical grid.

Prague, 29 June 2026 – The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague (FEE CTU) and the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) have formally reaffirmed the continuation of their successful academic partnership. The Dean of FEE CTU, Prof. Petr Páta, and the Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at NTUST, Prof. Jenq-Shiou Leu, signed an extension of the memorandum of cooperation covering the prestigious Double Degree programmes.

If you've successfully passed the admission process to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE), now is the perfect time to explore our summer courses and camps designed to help new students ease into study and get to know their future classmates. The offer is extensive, covering (radio)electronics, electrical engineering, and programming. Students joining the Open Informatics programme can also take advantage of the OI Buddy programme. All of the activities mentioned below are free of charge. At the end of August, several paid orientation camps also begin. All courses and orientation events are open to students who have already enrolled at the faculty.

How can organizations detect, delay, and mislead attackers who have already breached their network? This is the challenge addressed by Decor, a project developed by CTU FEE PhD student Muris Sladić and Dr. Sebastian Garcia from Stratosphere Lab, a research group within the AI Center at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE). DECOR uses AI-driven cyber deception to detect, mislead, and contain attackers who have already entered a network, giving defenders earlier visibility into adversarial behavior and more time to respond. The project won the Get Spin-off/Start-up Ready! program, designed to help students and researchers transform research ideas into future startups and spin-offs.

How can artificial intelligence be meaningfully integrated into foreign language instruction at the university level? This is precisely the question that will be addressed at the international workshop AI in Language Education as a Matter of Practical Methodology, which will take place September 16–18, 2026, at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (FEE CTU).
