The Institute was created in 1960 from the former Department of Organic Technology, Institute of Chemistry, and the Chemical Engineering Laboratory of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. Its previous name was the Institute of Theoretical Fundamentals of Chemical Technology of the CSAS. The current name was adopted as of 1 July, 1993.
The Institute deals with research in the domain of the theory of chemical processes, covering especially the fields of chemical engineering, physical chemistry and environmental engineering.
The main areas of research are as follows:
