CEITEC Project

CEITEC is a project aiming to set up a Central European centre of scientific excellence in Brno together with local universities and research institutes (Masaryk University, Brno University of Technology, Mendel University in Brno,  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 main benefit of the CEITEC project is the unique combination of life and traditional sciences.  The core of the project consists of seven research programmess (Advanced Nanotechnology and Microtechnology, Advanced Materials, Structural Biology, Genomics and Proteomics of Plant Systems, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience and Molecular Veterinary Medicine), 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.
