Research & Teaching
Charles University in Prague, the first University in central Europe (founded 1348), has among her many Faculties the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. Research and teaching at this Faculty focuses on various fields in physics, mathematics and computer science. It also educates teachers of physics and mathematics.
The subject of particle physics is pursued by the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics. The Institute’s research groups concentrate on detector and software development and physics analysis within large international collaborations connected with experiments at CERN, DESY and Fermilab, and also the Pierre Auger Observatory. There is also an active group of theorists working here.
Study at the Faculty offers opportunities for specialization in many branches, including nuclear and particle physics, in bachelor, master and postgraduate programmes.
Karlova Univerzita v Praze, první univerzita ve strední Evrope (založena 1348), má mezi svými fakultami také matematicko-fyzikální fakultu. Vzdelávání a vedecký výzkum na této fakulte jsou zamereny na ruzné oblasti fyziky, matematiky a informatiky. Fakulta také vzdelává ucitele matematiky a fyziky.
Cásticovou fyzikou se zabývá Ústav cásticové a jaderné fyziky. Jednotlivé pracovné skupiny se soustredujsoustreduj na prípravu detektoru a software pro experimenty a na fyzikální analýzu získaných výsledku. Pracují v rámci velkých mezinárodních skupin na experimentech v CERN, DESY a Fermilab, a také na projektu Pierre Auger. Vedle experimentátoru najdete v Ãl CJF také aktivní teoretickou skupinu
Studiem na fakulte lze získat specializaci v mnoha oborech, vcetne jaderný a subjaderný fyziky, v bakalárským, magisterskýsm a doktorským programu.

Research & Teaching
Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (FNSPE) is one of many faculties of Czech Technical University in Prague (founded 1707). Our faculty offers studies and research opportunities in the field of modern technologies such as nuclear and particle physics. Particle physics is studied mainly by the group of Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics, part of the Department of Physics. The group main goals are detector development, data analysis, software and electronics development and theory. Our colleagues are part of international collaborations working at CERN, BNL, Pierre Auger Observatory and other research institutes around the world.
Our faculty offers bachelor, master and Ph.D. programs in a variety of specializations, apart from nuclear and particle physics, our students can choose to study laser optics, solid state physics, electronics, theory and mathematics.
Fakulta jaderná a fyzikálně inženýrská (FJFI) je jednou z mnoha součástí Českého vysokého učení technického v Praze (založenkého roku 1707). Naše fakulta nabízí studium a vědecký příležitosti na poli moderních technologií, jako je jaderná a částicová fyzika.
Částicovou fyzikou se zabývá především skupina Experimentální částicová a jaderná fyziky, které je součástí Katedry fyziky. Hlavními cíli skupiny jsou vývoj detektorů, analýza dat, vývoj software a elektroniky a také teorie. Členové skupiny jsou součástí mezinárodních skupin pracujících v CERN, BNL, Pierre Auger Observatory a jiných výzkumných institucí ve světě.
FJFI nabízí bakalářský, magisterský i doktorský programy ve velkým množství specializacé, kromě jaderný a částicový fyziky se naši studenti mohou zaměřit na lasery a optiku, fyziku pevných látek, elektroniku, teorii, nebo matematiku.

Research & Teaching
The Faculty of Science of Palacký University in Olomouc is a research-based faculty that offers Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral studies invarious branches of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Sciences.Currently, the Faculty has more than 4000 students.
Fields of Study
Faculty prepares specialists in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, ecology, and teachers for secondary schools. Teacher education study programs are organized as combinations of two disciplines (e.g. mathematics–chemistry, biology-geography). We provide
bachelor, master and doctoral programmes.
Research
The Faculty has great creative potential; it can pride itself on a rich portfolio of original scientific results that are pushing the limits of our knowledge and multilateral international cooperation. Some of the research teams rank very high in the international context. According to the methodology of the Czech Research, Development and Innovation Council, the Faculty of Science ranked fifth in 2011 among all faculties and scientific institutes in the Czech Republic. In 2010, the faculty ranked sixth. Among the students of the Faculty of Science, there are winners of prestigious awards, such as the Česká hlavička (Czech Mind) Award or Scopus Young Researcher Award. The faculty is very successful in obtaining national as well as international grants.
