Research and sustainability at UWB

Science, research, development, and innovation (R&D) form a fundamental part of the activities of the University of West Bohemia (UWB), and have significant potential to influence sustainable development.

Sustainibility at faculties

Research results bring innovative technologies to society, support the sustainable operation of the university, prepare experts for work in practice, and enable university experts to provide consulting services for the benefit of regional sustainability.

The R&D focus at UWB is strongly oriented towards the technical sciences, which is supported by the activities of four research centres. Key areas include modern energy, and innovations in the field of quantum materials, which have the potential to address issues of sustainable development. In addition to technical fields, however, some humanities and economic disciplines also contribute to sustainability.

Projects like SmartCampus show how to better harness innovation.
