You can study just about anything at one of the 5 public, 1 state, and 4 private schools here. And the students love living here. The city can regularly be seen at the top of the QS Ranking in the Popular Among Students category. In 2020, we were the 6th most popular city for students in the whole world!
Brno belongs to the most progressive centres of science and innovation in Central Europe. Scientific and research institutions operate here mainly in the fields of biology, medical sciences, materials research, and nanotechnology. Local scientific workplaces are amongst the most successful in the Czech Republic and Europe in obtaining international grants.
With the contribution of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) in the programming period between 2007-2013, a number of scientific and research capacities were created at local universities and public research institutions, namely four centres of excellence and eleven application-oriented regional centres. The institutions act independently to a certain degree, but they’re still organisational units of universities and public research institutions. Thanks to the size of the investments and the robust selection mechanism, these centres were, among other things, a significant impetus for the development of regional and Czech research.
For clarity purposes, we list the individual research centres here according to the institution that they fall under.
