Our faculty and CTU have long been striving for greater involvement of women in technology and science, for example, on February 9, we are organizing an event aimed at high school girls called Become a Scientist for a Day. Graduates of our faculty regularly receive prestigious awards. This December, for example, Ing. Veronika Dmitrievna Prozorova received the prestigious Martina Roeselová Memorial Grant, and Bc. Daniela Opočenská from the Department of Mathematics won the Stanislav Hanzl Award for the best students of CTU.
