CERIT-SP: VT park and business incubator

Right on your premises the faculty operates the science and technology park CERIT-SP . Combining the university and business environment in one place brings a unique ecosystem that allows:

• dynamic cooperation between the faculty and companies in teaching (compulsory internships, supervision of final theses) and in key areas of information technology (security of mobile and data networks, security of energy equipment and other critical infrastructure, protection against cyber attacks and other areas);
• rapid transfer of research and development results from the university into practice;
• create an authentic environment for collaboration that fosters creativity and innovation;
• daily contact of students with the business environment already during their studies, which brings an advantage in the labor market and expands the exchange of knowledge between the university and the corporate world.

The CERIT Science Park was opened in September 2014. The total leased area is 2,200 m ² with a capacity for up to 20 companies.
