UCT Prague is a research university primarily focused on technical chemistry, chemical and biochemical technologies, material and chemical engineering, food science, and environmental science. Its cutting-edge facilities and equipment together, with an impressive scientific and research profile, make it an ideal training ground for the managerial, R&D, and public sector leaders of the future.
UCT Prague has four faculties. Its competitive edge lies in its unique “weaving together” of teaching activities with the highest-quality basic and applied research. Across UCT Prague, scientific teams are intensively involved in various national and international cooperative R&D efforts. The Project Centre provides methodological and administrative support to researchers submitting project applications and managing funded projects.
UCT Prague considers the commercialisation of applied research to be an important part of its mission. For that reason, UCT Prague’ss Research and Technology Transfer Office offers researchers support, contributing to extending valourisation of scientific outputs and pursuing the quest for new collaborative partners in applied settings. In 2015, UCT Prague opened Technopark Kralupy, a science and technology hub focused on chemistry for building construction applications, materials engineering, and related fields. The Technopark plays an essential role in UCT Prague’s technology transfer efforts and strategies.
The Research and Technology Transfer Office facilitates internal grants for researchers and students, offers opportunities to compete in prestigious research competitions, and promotes active engagement and participation in student conferences.
UCT Prague is an attractive institution for young scientists and early career researchers, and the Project Centre actively supports hosting and mentoring ECRs, e.g. as part of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. Here, ECRs can apply for a prestigious start-up grant, the Dagmar Procházková Fund, in order to create their own UCT Prague research groups. Postdoctoral fellows at UCT Prague receive extensive international mobility support for broadening their research horizons.
UCT Prague is actively involved in global scientific efforts and is continuously expanding and deepening its collaborations with partners around the world. The basic pillars of these activities include scientific research projects, inter-university cooperation memoranda, and Erasmus+ agreements. UCT Prague additionally creates and accredits joint study programmes with universities abroad.
Paving the way for the European Commission’s HR Excellence in Research Award, UCT Prague is committed to creating collegial working conditions, supporting continuous professional development, and transparent hiring procedures. The Personnel Department co-creates facilities for employees together with the Welcome Centre, which supports employees arriving from abroad, from assisting with the visa process to answering questions about everyday life in Prague. In its determination to be an attractive and welcoming institution for all employees and students, UCT Prague has created a Gender Equality Plan, an executive action initiative.

[obsah] => “Congratulations to all our medalists for such a terrific outcome. Chemistry is not one of our favourite disciplines in our schools, but we showed we can compete with the world’s best,” said Karel Melzoch, Rector of the University of Chemical Technology, Prague (UCT Prague), which—together with Comenius University in Bratislava—was responsible for organizing the jubilee year of the Olympiad.
Each competitor had to complete a total of eleven tasks, eight theoretical problems and three practical laboratory tasks. Among other things, students were asked to determine how much time it would take to boil Emperor Lothair II, to analyse the composition of a Slovak mineral water, to prepare an organic substance using Sava, and to reveal the origin of the colour of the Czech garnet. The tasks were developed by a teach of scientists from UCT Prague, Charles University, the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and Comenius University in Bratislava.
Czech representatives performed perfectly in the practical part, with all four team members placing in the top ten. In the theoretical part, they achieved above-average results. Jan Obořil, Josef Tomeček and Miroslava Novoveská won gold medals and Richard Veselý won a silver. In the history of the independent Czech Republic, it is the best result ever. The team placed fourth overall after China, the USA, and Korea.
“It was an incredible success; moreover, it is more noteworthy that this year, students did not as many comments about the preparation conditions as in previous years because we had a lot to do while we were organizing the Olympiad. But the students with Mirek obviously kept pace and prepared perfectly,” explained Petr Holzhauser, President of the competition for the Czech Republic.
The absolute winner of the Olympiad was Qingyu Chen from China, which has traditionally been one of the biggest favorites. Last year, in Thailand, Czechs won three silver medals and one bronze medal.
In addition to the competition itself, a supplementary program was prepared for the competitors. In Slovakia, where the Olympics began on 19 July, they visited Bratislava and took trips to Banská Štiavnica, to Červený Kameň Castle, and participated in many other activities. A grand Summer IChO Party, open to the public and with concerts by Tata Bojs, Debbi and Kašpárka v rohlíku, awaited the students in Prague, followed by excursions to Solvay’s Quarry near Beroun and an unconventional tour of the capital.
Premiere of joint coordination
“The jubilee edition of the competition with the most talented students in the world was, for the first time in history, jointly organized by two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. “The possibility of organizing the Olympiad presented a great opportunity. First of all, it was helped by the fact that the first year of the competition took place in Prague 50 years ago and that this year we are celebrating a hundred years since the emergence of independent Czechoslovakia,” said Petr Holzhauser.
Both countries equally shared the costs for the event, which climbed to 45 million crowns. The original concerns by the International Chemical Olympics Steering Committee about the shared organization of the event were not confirmed. “In the end, it turned out to be a great idea, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the event proceeded smoothly,” said I-Jy Shang, Chair of the Steering Committee. “I also appreciated the unprecedented creativity of the organizers who created a new Olympic Flag, an original logo, and the celebration for students, which traditionally was held just for them, was made into a festival, open to the public," added Shang.
Support of institutions and corporate partners
The organization of such a large international event would not have been possible without support from the state and other partners. The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (as well as the Slovak Republic) did not hesitate to provide financial support as was the case with the City of Prague, Prague 6, the Czech Olympic Committee, and a number of large private entities headed by the Platinum Partner of the Olympics, the Unipetrol Group, the only oil processor and the largest refining and petrochemical company in the Czech Republic.
Ranking of medallists
Within the framework of the International Chemistry Olympiad, the absolute winner was determined to be the student who earned the highest number of points in the sum of the practical and theoretical parts of the competition.
Gold, silver, and bronze medals were additionally awarded to students who cross a defined point boundary. This year, the gold medal threshold was 85 points and 35 students achieved this result.
Selection of students for the Czech team
Students for the Czech team were carefully chosen using a three-round selection system. The first criterion was placement in the National Round of the Chemistry Olympiad in Hradec Králové, from which the top 16 students were invited to a theoretical preparatory meeting at the UCT Prague. After further narrowing the list of competitors to the best 8 students, a practical preparatory event was organized by the Faculty of Science of Charles University, narrowing the team to four competitors. Three representatives participated in 2017’s IChO, competing for medals in Thailand.
