CZECH RESEARCH AND SCIENCE AT THE WORLD´S TOP The voice of Czech Science has always been heard loud in the world. Although a small country, the Czech Republic has achieved international renown in areas ranging from Egyptology to the treatment of civilisation diseases to high-tech technologies, such as, for example, nonwoven nanofibres. Currently, there are 9 Centres of Excellence in the Czech Republic, with more than 40 regional research centres. In addition, the Czech government recently launched a new innovation strategy for the years 2019-2030. The new strategy, named The Czech Republic: The Country for the Future, has set itself a rather ambitious aim: to become an innovation leader in Europe.

The Czech Republic is successfully building a unique and vast scientific base. Czech Science is interesting, not only for young students who have just completed their secondary school studies and have to make their choice of their further course of study, but also for experts from all over the world.

Public universities have always played, and continue to play, a very important role in research and development. Their greatest achievements include, for example: the development of a new method of treating cancer and haematological and urological diseases; development of new construction technologies; development of advanced materials and collaboration in international projects. The development of the research infrastructure of universities is greatly assisted by contributions from the EU funds, which have helped to finance: the establishment of Centres of Excellence in research focused on the development of laser systems; biomedical and material sciences; energy research and comprehensive mathematical modelling in natural, medical, and technical sciences. The strong orientation of the Czech Republic towards Science and Innovation has resulted in specific projects materialised by Czech Sciences and companies, such as: nanotechnological coating for improving the quality of the air;
