The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU awarded the Trnka Medal to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vladimír Blažek, Dr. h. c., professor emeritus at RWTH Aachen University and a long-standing key collaborator of the faculty in the fields of biomedical engineering and international cooperation. He received the award during the POSTER 2026 student research conference, where the medal was presented to him by the Dean of the FEE CTU, Prof. Petr Páta.

How does one go from FEE CTU straight to the technologies that control cars on the roads today? Šárka Baštová (who studied at FEE under her maiden name, Květoňová) started at Škoda Auto as an intern and gradually worked her way up to the position of expert in the development and deployment of cameras for driver assistance systems. In this interview, she describes what she enjoys about her work, what her studies at the faculty gave her—and what advice she would give to students today.

On May 12, 2026, the Czech AI Factory (CZAI) project was officially launched in Ostrava. The project will connect supercomputing capabilities, expert know-how, and practical applications of artificial intelligence for businesses, public administration, and research organizations. The Czech Technical University in Prague is also significantly involved in the project, which has a budget of nearly one billion crowns—primarily the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics, which will develop AI services for industry, cybersecurity, public administration, and other application areas.

The brand-new autonomous electric formula car CTU.26, developed by the student team EFORCE Prague Formula, is once again significantly lighter, faster, and structurally more robust. The team presented the car for the upcoming season on Monday, May 11, 2026, at the Planetarium Prague. EFORCE Prague Formula, made up primarily of students from the Czech Technical University’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, is the leading student formula team in the Czech Republic. Its cars regularly score points on European racing circuits. The team, which currently has around one hundred members, is also tackling a major engineering challenge.

We would like to invite you to a guest lecture by Dr. Jussi Sihvo on the topic of impedance-based diagnostics of batteries for research and industrial practice. The lecture will take place on Thursday, 14 May 2026, from 13:00 to 14:30 in room A4-7, Technická 2, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, and will also be available online.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague invites you to a public lecture by Assoc. Prof. Ing. Tomáš Pevný, Ph.D., held as part of the appointment procedure for the position of Professor in the field of Cybernetics and Robotics.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering invites students, staff, and the wider academic community to a lecture by a distinguished global expert in semiconductor and computing technologies, Jack Y.-C. Sun, which will take place on 21 May 2026 from 14:30 to 16:00 at FEE CTU in Prague, Technická 2, in lecture room T2:C3-340. The lecture will focus on emerging directions in artificial intelligence and system scaling in the era of so-called zettascale computing.

A research team led by Prof. Daniel Klír from the Department of Physics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague has achieved a significant breakthrough in plasma research. Their paper Observation of radially emitted proton beams from low-mass X-pinch plasmas, describing a new mechanism for proton acceleration, was published in one of the most prestigious physics journals, Physical Review Letters, and the editorial board also selected it as an Editors’ Suggestion—an honor awarded only to a limited number of exceptionally significant articles.

A spectacular performance built around technologies developed by researchers and students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU will take place at Maker Faire Prague 2026. The popular festival will be held on May 9–10, 2026, at the Prague Exhibition Grounds in Holešovice. The exhibition by the team around David Vrbík from the Institute of Intermedia will be present throughout both days. And that’s not all the experts from FEE CTU have prepared. Fans of robots and high-speed racing will also find plenty to enjoy.

Are you interested in renewable energy and keen to gain hands-on experience in the field? The Photovoltaic Academy 2026 offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of photovoltaics over the course of one intensive week, meet leading experts, and build valuable professional connections. Registration is open until 31 May.

The international POSTER conference will kick off on Thursday, May 14. It provides university students with an opportunity to present their research work and establish professional connections. This year, a record number of presenters have registered. The best posters will be awarded by an expert jury in seven categories. The event, which is also open to the professional public, will take place at the FEE CTU in Dejvice. A detailed program is available here.

Based on the recommendation of the evaluation committee, the Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU, Prof. Petr Páta, has awarded instructors for their outstanding teaching performance. The committee drew on the results of the student survey, with particular emphasis on students’ written feedback, as well as on nominations from heads of departments. It also considered factors such as the quality of study materials and the level of academic rigor.

With the growing share of renewable energy sources (RES), the question of how to store generated energy efficiently so that it can be used at the most appropriate time is becoming increasingly urgent. This very topic was the focus of another Physics Thursday with ČEZ, held on 23 April. The speakers included Ing. Luděk Dušek, Technical Department Manager, and Dr Jan Opatřil, an expert in thermal sources from the Renewable and Conventional Energy Division.

A new AI model currently being developed by researchers at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University (FEE CTU) aims to provide significant support to municipal leadership in working with legislation. The team, led by Professor Jiří Jakovenko, is creating a chatbot that will quickly and reliably provide mayors with answers to questions related to legislative, administrative, and organisational processes in public administration. The Municipal 4.1 model will also reduce the risk of errors when navigating the complex world of laws and regulations. The model, developed in collaboration between FEL researchers and the company Sofo Advisory, is currently unparalleled within the Czech Republic.
