Public Relations

Our school has its own prestige based on the results in education and science within the Czech Republic, Europe and the world. It is therefore important to ensure:

• steady and focused promotion of natural sciences as a basis for successful industry and living standards in the Czech Republic
• emphasis on the image of our school as a CTU scientific research base
