On Friday afternoon, 20 September 2024, a group of about thirty international students and researchers from UCT Prague visited Troja Chateau, located on the right bank of the Vltava River, below St. Clare's Vineyard and next to Prague Zoo.
The weather was fine, the sun was shining and it was no longer hot, so in addition to the amazing interiors of the chateau, we also visited the chateau garden. The tour ended with a group photo on the baroque staircase of the chateau.
We were guided through the history of the chateau by the brilliant guide Martin Bělohradský.
As the floodwaters of the Vltava had receded, we crossed to the other side of the river and walked through the Stromovka Park.
Athens week - fall 20247-day intensive couses on 15 partner universities all over Europe. The applications open on 2.9.2024!
For more information visit the ATHENS NETWORK website or the ATHENS website of The Department of International Relations, UCT Prague.
Our walk began on the hill near our university, at the little church of St Matthias, whose foundations were laid here in the 15th century. At that time, the area was already inhabited by farmsteads and the hillside was planted with vines.
In the inter-war period of the 20th century, a residential area was built here, with villas designed in the new architectural style of Functionalism. Important architects of the time were involved in the designs and the owners of the villas were people from the upper classes of society.
We walked to a beautiful viewpoint at the ruins of Baba, where there used to be a house where the harvested grapes were pressed. From here we enjoyed a beautiful view of the Vltava River and Císařský ostrov, where the new Prague sewage treatment plant is located. On the other bank of the Vltava we observed the animal enclosures of the Prague Zoo. We also had a beautiful view of St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle and the city skyline.
Our guide Mr. Martin Bělohradský told us many interesting facts about this place and its history.

An invitation to stroll around the Prague 6 - Hanspaulka Villas on Thursday 13 June 2024, we'll meet at 3:30 PM in front of UCT Prague, building A. Please register for the event →
This time we focused our walk on an industrial monument about a quarter of an hour's walk from our university, located in Prague 6 Bubenč. The Old sewage treatment plant was built and commissioned in 1906. The British civil engineer William Heerlein Lindley was responsible for the construction of the sewerage system and the technical parameters of the sewage treatment plant. Treated wastewater was discharged into the nearby river Vltava, therefore it was necessary to monitor the chemical composition of the treated water. Julie Hamáčková, who was one of the first women to study at the Prague Technical University, became the head of the operational analytical laboratory. She participated in the development of the methodology for the chemical analysis of utility and waste water. Later, in the 1950s, she was the first woman to be appointed professor of water chemistry and became dean of the Faculty of Fuels and Water Technology.
Today, the sewage treatment plant is no longer in operation. In 1967 it was replaced by a newly built treatment plant on nearby Císařský Island. In the old sewage treatment plant, the technical equipment has been preserved, including the steam engine that powered the entire technology equipment through the transmissions.
After finishing the tour of the sewage treatment plant, our group, led by our guide Martin Bělohradský, walked through the adjacent part of Stromovka Park (Royal Game Reserve) from the Císařský Mill to the Gate leading to the church of St. Gotthard.
We passed by the magnificent villas in the residential district Bubeneč and we managed to get a glimpse of the beautiful interiors of Villa Lanna, which is the property of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
On a beautiful sunny spring day, we started our walk on the western bastions of Prague Castle, walked along the picturesque New World Street, stopped at the house with a memorial plaque to the famous Danish mathematician and astronomer Tycho de Brahe, who lived here around 1600.
We descended into the Jelení příkop/Deer Moat and climbed up to Masaryk's Lookout, from where we could see the panorama of palaces around Prague Castle.
We walked along the Brusnice Creek, through the tunnel under the Powder Bridge to the lower part of the Jelení příkop, from where we could see the high walls and towers protecting Prague Castle from the North.
We climbed up the steep path and steps to Queen Anne's Summer Palace and walk through the Royal Garden to the entrance to the Second Courtyard of Prague Castle. We were weaving our way through the crowds of tourists to St Vitus' Cathedral to the Third Courtyard and from there down the Býčí schodiště/Bull's Steps to the South Gardens. There we were rewarded with a beautiful view over the rooftops of the Lesser Town houses and palaces, the Vltava River and the inner city of Prague.
We were taken through the history of Prague Castle and the surrounding palaces by our excellent guide Martin Bělohradský.

On Saturday, 18th November, the Welcome Office organised an autumn walk to the Monastery of St. Adalbert and St. Margaret in Prague's Břevnov. The historical interpretation was once again provided by our excellent guide Ing. Martin Bělohradský. Our group visited the interior of St Margaret's Basilica, from where the participants descended to the Romanesque crypt with foundations dating back to the 11th century.
In the upper part of the monastery they admired the beautiful Theresian´s Hall and the interior of the Prelature.
We did not miss the Vojtěška spring, which refers to the legend of the foundation of the monastery by Prince Boleslav II and Bishop Vojtěch in 993 AD.
The walk ended in the garden of the monastery, from where there is a beautiful view of the surrounding part of Prague 6.
UCT Prague Hosted Prestigious Kyutech Autumn SchoolPrague, Czech Republic, [6.11.2023] – The University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague), in a resplendent display of international collaboration and educational excellence, hosted the esteemed Kyutech Autumn School from October 21 to 27, 2023. This event marked a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership between VŠCHT and the Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), Japan.
Under the expert guidance of Professor Josef Krýsa from the Institute of Inorganic Technology and in coordination with UCT Prague's Department of International Relations, the autumn school provided an immersive learning experience for Japanese students.

The curriculum was meticulously designed to encompass Theoretical and Environmental Aspects of Chemical Technologies. UCT Prague's faculty, including Professor Josef Krýsa, Associate Professor Martin Paidar, Ing. Michal Baudys, and Ing. Šárka Paušová, played a pivotal role in delivering this comprehensive educational experience.
A highlight of the program was an innovative Workshop where both Czech and Japanese educators and students had the opportunity to present and discuss their cutting-edge research topics. This academic exchange culminated in an informal gathering at the café Carbon, fostering a sense of community and shared learning.
Complementing the academic pursuits were a series of cultural and exploratory activities, offering the students a rich taste of Czech culture and history. Visits to the iconic Estates Theatre, exploratory tours of Prague, an excursion to the Bernard brewery, and a trip to the silver museum and cathedral in Kutná Hora enriched the students' experience, blending education with cultural appreciation.
Looking ahead, UCT Prague eagerly anticipates the continuation of this fruitful collaboration, with plans already underway for the fourth iteration of the autumn school in the 2024/2025 academic year, to be hosted by Kyutech in Japan.

Culture Couse for International StudentsOn Thursday, September 14, join the Culture Course led by Caleb Daniel House, MSc. (USA).
Caleb House was born and raised in Northern California. Since 2003 he has lived in 10 countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa as a student, volunteer, teacher, researcher, and project manager. Along the way, he slowly realized that the deep differences in culture are not the main problem, rather the way we think about culture can have a make-or-break impact on the experience abroad. Through a long process of failures and successes, he developed a set of tools to overcome the challenges and to make the most of living in a foreign country. Since 2018 he has worked in the International Relations Office of the Czech Technical University in Prague.
The Culture Course provides insight into culture shock, culture fatigue, how to think about culture when you're a foreigner, or how to make the most of your time in a foreign country despite challenges.

Athens spring 2024University of Bordeaux is looking for a Master student willing to work in our theoretical chemistry group in Bordeaux for a 5-months research internship. It is funded by a joint research program with University of Waterloo (Canada) so it means that we can cover part of accommodation and travel expanses (700 euros per months) and complete with Erasmus mobility grant or others. The scientific program is detailed below and please see the paper already published this year related to the project.
If any of your student is interested, please contact me at cedric.crespos@u-bordeaux.fr
The research project aims to overcome the limitations of conventional gas sensing technologies by combining machine learning algorithms with metal oxide-organic thin films synthesis (high-performance metal oxide-organic thin film gas sensors for detecting amines such as ammonia, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine). By exploring various organic thin film materials, we will identify optimal combinations with semiconductor metal oxides to enhance the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of gas sensors within a combined experimental and computational approach.
The 6-months internship project will be focused on the theoretical part with electronic structure calculations, making use of quantum chemistry technics and more sepcifically density functional theory (DFT) for large systems. Linear-scaling DFT calculations will be performed with the CONQUEST code. This will allow us to handle large-size chemical systems, including those with defects. The combination of AI algorithms and linear-scaling DFT should provides an efficient and systematic means to navigate the extensive compositional space of multicomponent oxide-based chemiresistors.
See attached files for previous similar works performed in the theoretical chemistry group of ISM (University of Bordeaux). https://www.u-bordeaux.fr/en

Please see update about scholarship and extended application deadline!!!
Every applicant has the opportunity to request the reception of a stipend that either eliminates the participation fee or assists with travel costs (up to 2000€). Fees and stipends are specifically designed to ameliorate the financial constraints of prospective participants who do not have the institutional support that is generally required to apply for a program like ours. While this may especially be necessary for international candidates from underrepresented communities, we encourage every young scholar without a budget for travel/conferences to apply for the stipend they would benefit from the most.
We have extended our application deadline until Sunday, 2 July 2023 to give those with financial concerns a little more time to hand in their applications. If you could be so kind as to distribute this information (updated documents attached) as broadly as possible among early career researchers in your organization, we would appreciate that very much.
