Autonomous vehicles, electromobility, artificial intelligence and smart city technologies will be showcased on Saturday, 19 September, at the Prague Exhibition Grounds. Smart Mobility Day is organised by Valeo in cooperation with other partners from the automotive industry, transport research, smart cities and technical education. The Czech Technical University in Prague’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL CTU) will present its student-built Formula Student cars as well as research into the technologies driving the development of autonomous and intelligent mobility.

The work of students and researchers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague does not remain hidden behind the walls of laboratories and workshops. Over the weekend of 18–19 September, representatives of the faculty will present their light-based projects at two festivals. Master’s student Jakub Dvořák will showcase the world’s fastest stroboscope at Žížafest in Žilina, while David Vrbík from the faculty’s Institute of Intermedia will play his laser string at the Valmez Festival of the World.

The EFORCE Prague Formula team and its CTU.26 race car won both the autonomous and combined categories at this year’s Formula Student Italy competition and also took victory at Formula Student Spain. At this year’s Formula Student Germany competition, the team finished a solid fourth in the autonomous section. The team is made up primarily of students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU).

What journey does a battery take from the research laboratory through the production line to an energy storage system or electric vehicle? Come to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU in Prague on Thursday 24th September to discover the Czech battery industry, hear about the career journeys of FEE CTU graduates and explore opportunities available to you while you are still studying.

Registration for the ninth edition of the Energy Olympiad is now open. Since the competition was launched in 2018, nearly 9,000 secondary school students have taken part, and this year the total number is expected to surpass 10,000. The organisers expect approximately 1,300 students from across the Czech Republic to participate. The online school round will take place on 16 October 2026, with the top 25 teams advancing to the final, which will be held on 12–13 November at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE).

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague warmly invites you to the 57th Music Gathering, taking place on Monday, 5 October 2026 at 6:30 p.m. in the Zenger Lecture Hall at Charles Square. This time, the evening will be dedicated to pianist Martin Kasík and the music of Fryderyk Chopin.

The CTU Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) will take part in the European Heritage Days for the third time, opening the normally inaccessible Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre in Na Zderaze to the public. You can visit the chapel on Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Admission is free.

The Czech F4F & CTU SkyGraph team achieved significant success in the final of the Fully Autonomous Flight 2.0 competition organised by Germany’s Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation SPRIND. Competing against seven European technology teams, it demonstrated a system capable of receiving instructions formulated in ordinary human language, independently converting them into a flight plan, and carrying them out without GPS or manual control. The competition tasks simulated real-world applications such as delivery services, rescue operations, and security control centres. In the “find and assist an injured person” task, the F4F & CTU SkyGraph team defeated Europe’s drone elite. The fourteen-month competition had a budget exceeding EUR 5 million, with each finalist team receiving EUR 500,000 in funding to develop its system.

How does a young child learn that moving its hand can change the world around it? And what happens in the brain during this process? An international team of researchers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Universität Hamburg and Université Paris Cité explored these questions using the humanoid robot iCub. The results of their experiments, which offer a new perspective on the mechanisms of early learning, have now been published in Science Robotics, the world’s leading scientific journal in the field of robotics.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE) has secured two international research projects under QuantERA, a prestigious European initiative supporting the development of quantum technologies. The ICON and EXCEL-QKD projects will focus on next-generation quantum communication systems and secure networks designed for the advent of quantum computers. CTU FEE has thus secured half of all Czech projects funded in the field of applied quantum research under this year’s call.

This year, the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) awarded its most prestigious honour, the King-Sun Fu Prize, to Professor Jiří Matas, a researcher from Department of Cybernetics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FEE CTU). The prize was presented at the 28th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), one of the leading conferences in the field of pattern recognition, held in Lyon, France, from 17 to 22 August 2026.

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.
