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] => The focus of the cooperation between the ORLEN Unipetrol Group and VŠCHT Praha has changed several times during the past 20 years. Generally, it includes activities to raise awareness about and popularise chemistry, education, research, and development. “The chemical industry is facing significant changes. At ORLEN Unipetrol, we plan to manufacture up to 20 per cent of petrochemical products from recycled materials by 2030. Also, we intend to invest considerably in green projects and digitisation. Furthermore, we want to be carbon neutral in 2050 at the latest. Therefore, it is necessary to educate new specialists who can face all the current challenges,” says Tomáš Herink, a member of the Board of Directors at ORLEN Unipetrol, responsible for research, development, and production.
“The partnership with the ORLEN Unipetrol Group enables us to implement many public awareness and infotainment projects and support the education of the upcoming generation. Our students have a unique opportunity to test the acquired theoretical knowledge in practice. The collaboration also pays dividends in joint research and development when submitting proposals for scientific and research projects in the Czech Republic and abroad, including the European Union’s programme calls. Together, we have implemented 35 research and development projects directly impacting the developments in the chemical industry. The most recent projects include pyrolysis plastic recycling, biofuel production, or a patented method of dicyclopentadiene production,” says Pavel Matějka, Rector of the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague.
The most significant joint educational project was the establishment of the University Centre Litvínov VŠCHT – FS ČVUT – ORLEN Unipetrol. It is located in Chempark Litvínov and is the only location in the Czech Republic where a part of a public institution of higher education is situated straight on the production premises. Up to 50 students currently study directly in the heart of the largest chemical plant in the country. “The specific chemical production environment allows students to verify the acquired theoretical knowledge directly in practice throughout their studies. In addition, they can join a host of research and education activities offered or organised by the University Centre. Then, they can work on their qualification papers on some of the many industrial topics,” explains Tomáš Herink. He adds: “The University centre’s future plans include the efforts to get accreditation of a new study programme focused on practical instruction emphasising the study’s engineering, procedural and technological character. We always want to consider the broader possibilities that the graduates have in the job market.”
The cooperation also focuses on supporting primary and secondary schools. They can come to the company’s sites to take a tour around, attend lectures about the latest topics on the chemical industry, and do other learning activities. Thanks to close contacts with the ORLEN Unipetrol Foundation, scholarship and grant programmes are also available to secondary school students.
The ORLEN Unipetrol Group is the largest refinery and petrochemical company in the Czech Republic. It focuses on crude oil processing and the production, distribution and sale of vehicle fuels and petrochemical products – particularly plastics and fertilisers.
