Education activities

The Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences cooperates with a number of Czech universities in basic, applied and interdisciplinary research, as well as in providing practical training and supervision of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral theses. This cooperation takes place, among others, within the framework of the following joint activities, most of which are traditional and long-term:

  • study of nuclear matter using relativistic and ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions within the international projects ALICE, STAR, HADES and CBM (in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics CUNI and the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering CTU in Prague (FNSPE).
  • preparation, modification and characterization of materials using energetic radiation (in cooperation with UJEP, FNSPE CTU, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics CUNI, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering CTU, the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Masaryk University and the UCT),
  • research in mathematical physics and applied mathematics (in cooperation with the University of Hradec Králové and the FNSPE CTU in Prague),
  • development of symmetry-guided methods for modelling medium-mass nuclei from first principles (in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics CUNI and the FIT CTU in Prague),
  • research in new dosimetric methods and dosimeters for space applications (in cooperation with the FNSPE CTU in Prague),
  • investigation of doses received during medical proton irradiation (in cooperation with the FNSPE CTU in Prague),
  • study of nanocomposite materials prepared by ion implantation (in cooperation with the UCT, UJEP, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics CUNI and CEITEC MUNI),
  • development of forensic methods for the protection of endangered species (in cooperation with CUNI, Faculty of Science, Institute for Environmental Studies),
  • study of the occurrence of metals and metal-containing molecules in mushrooms (in cooperation with the UCT),
  • production of homologues of superheavy elements (in cooperation with the FNSPE CTU in Prague).
