From humble beginnings to recognised institution


The beginnings of Brno University of Technology (BUT) date back to 19 September 1899, when the Imperial and Royal Czech Technical University in Brno, now known as Brno University of Technology, was established. Over more than a century, the university has evolved from humble beginnings in rented classrooms into an internationally renowned educational and research institution. Its history is intertwined with personalities such as Armin Delong, Bohuslav Fuchs and Otto Wichterle. Its honorary doctors include Nikola Tesla, Tomáš and Jan Antonín Bat'a, and the first two Czechoslovak presidents T. G. Masaryk and Edvard Beneš.

News at BUT - Special 2024

What many consider to be the distant future is currently being developed at Brno University of Technology


Today, BUT is achieving excellence not only in traditional engineering fields, but also in areas that are the technologies of the future, such as semiconductor technology, microscopy, space and aerospace technology, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as environmental engineering and the circular economy. With representation from the arts, architecture and design, the university can offer a bridge between the technical and artistic worlds, developing creativity in technical research and education in a unique way.

The importance of technical education for excellence and competitiveness


The Jubilee is not just an occasion to reflect on the past but also an opportunity to present the visions and themes that shape the current and future direction of the university. One of the most crucial themes is the significance of technical education for the development of technological excellence and competitiveness, not only for the Czech Republic, but also for the European Union. It is one of the great challenges for technical higher education, but also for countries whose economies base their competitive potential on industry, to think in the context of their strategic development about how to support technical education, which is what enables the knowledge and innovation potential of the national economy to develop. Therefore, the theme of its promotion became the main message of the university's anniversary celebrations. This is the only way to turn technological visions into reality.
