State-of-the-art equipment, cutting-edge technologies and international cooperation. This is what research at MU is all about.
We are dedicated to establishing the right priorities, committed to securing sufficient funding and fully aware of the ethical and social implications of our research results.
The Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University (MED MUNI) has launched CREATIC, a unique international project focused on researching, developing, and producing medicines for patients suffering from diseases for which no medical treatments currently exist.
The European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s leading funding body for cutting-edge research and development, today announced the results of its prestigious ERC Grants competition. Three Czech projects, two of them from the MU, were among the four hundred awarded submissions by young researchers from all over Europe.
Pavel Plevka, an internationally renowned expert in structural biology and virology who has received a number of prestigious grants and awards, will become director of CEITEC MUNI on 1 July.
The success highlights excellent basic research with great application potential. Obtaining a patent is a prerequisite for the development of new drugs and for potential collaborations with pharmaceutical companies.
The International Scientific Advisory Board provides us with very welcome feedback. The ISAB helps MU establish research priorities, develop scientific strategies and boost international cooperation.
Our scientists have achieved success at national and international levels. In addition to issuing a wide range of significant scientific publications, we regularly organize seminars and lectures on science and research conducted at MU.
Access to central laboratories equipped with unique instruments is provided to other university units as well as other academic workplaces and even private companies.
MU Research infrastructures are an important pillar of research and innovation systems.
Their significance is emphasized by our participation in 14 projects listed in the Czech National Roadmap for Large RDI Infrastructures.
Eleven of these projects are also part of research infrastructures of pan-European interest included in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) for 2021.
