Nanotechnology gains ground in Czech Republic

The emerging nanotechnology field is gaining ground in the Czech Republic with successes reported by local researchers and the commercial sector. To ensure continued development in the new science, VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava (VŠB-TU), North Moravia, is launching the first program in nanotechnology in the Czech Republic, and other universities are also starting courses.

Although none of the countries in the Central and Eastern European region is significantly ahead of the Czech Republic in nanotechnology education, the country “shouldn’t rest on its laurels as things are moving ahead also in other countries in CEE,“ said Alexandr Prokop of the TCAS CR. Prokop is the national contact point for the nanotechnology and space technology sections of the European Union’s research & development (R&D) programs.
