The complete program statement is available here.

In the last week of August, our Faculty was buzzing with energy as the Summer IT School for Girls unfolded. This traditional event drew 35 enthusiastic high school girls from across the Czech Republic, providing them with an opportunity to discover the fun side of computer science.

The program featured activities such as programming robots, creating mobile applications, and even experimenting with 3D printing, allowing the students to explore various aspects of the IT world in a hands-on way. One of the highlights was a meeting with female IT professionals from leading tech companies who shared their experiences and career stories.

The Summer IT School for Girls at FIT not only opens up new horizons for high school girls but also provides a platform for future IT female professionals.

A delegation of students and academics from the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) visited our Faculty in August.

They attended various lectures and presentations as well as enjoyed numerous cultural and social activities.  One of the highlights was an evening event with representatives from the Student Union of FIT at the students' club. Our Chinese colleagues had the opportunity to taste various Czech specialties, exchange experiences with our students about studying in both China and here, and enjoy a wonderful time together.

The delegation was led by Leading Professor Liu Hao, whom the Brno University of Technology (VUT) has maintained a long-standing collaboration with, primarily in the field of air traffic management and aviation technologies. Professor Hao has previously been awarded the VUT Silver Medal for his work.

The visit provided an excellent platform for fostering international academic exchange and strengthening the ties between our institutions. It is through such interactions that knowledge and expertise can be shared, enhancing the quality of education and research on a global scale.
