National collaboration

collaborationDepartment of microelectronics in the field of pedagogical and scientific research has long been cooperating with a number of faculties of the CTU and with a number of other Czech universities and institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. As far as pedagogy is concerned, there is extensive and close cooperation in the first group, especially with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and with the Faculty of Physics and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (electronics, optoelectronics, microsystems). From other universities there is the most extensive cooperation with the Brno Technical University (electronics, microelectronics) in the pedagogical field, but also cooperation with the University of Chemical Technology (optoelectronics, microsystems), the Technical University in Ostrava (electronics) and Charles University, namely its Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (electronics, optoelectronics).

In the area of scientific research there is a close long-term cooperation, especially with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Nuclear and Physical Engineering (electronics, optoelectronics, microsystems), some of the institutes of ICT Prague (optoelectronics, sensors). From the institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic there is traditionally extensive cooperation with the Institute of Radio and Electronics (electronics, optoelectronics) and with the Institute of Physics (electronics, optoelectronics, sensors).


International collaboration (academic)

The Department of Microelectronics, in the framework of its pedagogical and scientific programs, cooperates with a number of foreign universities and scientific and research institutions. In the pedagogical field, there is a long-term exchange of pedagogical experience in selected specializations, as well as implementation of various international programs for further education of students and teachers (eg TEMPUS, SOCRATES, etc.). Traditional partners in the first of these areas include the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava. In the second area partners are Bournemouth University, Bournemouth (UK), University of Hull, Hull (UK), University of Derby, Derby (UK), Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds (UK), Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, Grenoble F), Hogeschool West-Brabant, Gent (B) Hogeschool Breda (NL).

As far as scientific research is concerned, partners include some colleges with which the K334 also cooperates in the field of pedagogy, some other universities, as well as various university and other scientific and research institutions and institutes. Among the most important are University of York, York (UK), Delft University of Technology, Delft (NL), UMIST, Manchester (UK), IMEC Leuven (B), Tandem Dynamitron Laboratorium, Ruhr Universität Bochum, Bochum Power Electronics and Devices Group, National Center of Microelectronics, Barcelona (E), AIM Center for Application of Ion Beams in Material Research, Forschungszentrum Rossendorf, Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research, Dresden (D), Philips Semiconductors, Nijmegen ). Collaboration mainly concerns the solution of some problems in the field of electronic components, microelectronics and sensors.
