It has been 60 years since the first laser eye surgery in Czechoslovakia, which took place under the direction of Dr. Jan John in the building of our institute in 1964.
The new LasApp project was presented at the international workshop Laser Innovative Technologies, organized by the Czech Optical Cluster on June 5 - 6 in Dolní Břežany (Centrum HiLASE and ELI Beamlines).
The Assembly of Researchers of ÚFE has nominated Prof. Jiří Homola as a candidate for the election of the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences for the period 2025-2029.
The LasApp project wants to effectively support lasers and thus the technological development of the Czech Republic. It will connect excellent research centres of the CAS, Charles University and other institutions and will focus on the most modern fibre and thin-disc lasers, which are applied e.g. in engineering, medicine and defence systems. More in the press release.
We invite you to the ÚFE stand at the Science Fair, where we will introduce you to the nanoworld in motion and the beauty of optical fibers. We have also prepared a competition for a day in the laboratory. Don't miss the biggest scientific event in the Czech Republic! Come from May 30 to June 1 to PVA Letňany. Admission is free.
Today, prof. Andrews from the University of California gave the lecture at ÚFE on the topic of personalized medicine and predictive treatment. After the lecture, the professor visited the laboratories conducting related research.
During her half-day visit, the President of the Cezch Academy of Sciences Eva Zažímalová visited seven laboratories in the building in Kobylisy. The management of the Czech Academy of Sciences appreciated the cutting-edge research supported by prestigious projects, as well as the growing successful commercialization of some research outputs.
ÚFE is the main coordinator of the project LasApp: Breakthrough Laser Technologies for Smart Manufacturing, Space and Bio-Tech Applications, which succeeded in the Excellent Research call of the Programme Johannes Amos Comenius. On 18 January we held a kick-off meeting with the project partners.
This year we are launching 4 new projects supported by the Excellent Research Call of the Programme Johannes Amos Comenius (OP JAK) and 2 applied projects from the TREND programme. We are the main coordinator of the LasApp project (OP JAK), in the others we are a partner.
Pavel Baran, Chairman of the Science Council of the Cezch Academy of Sciences, visited our department on Friday, 5 January. He visited the laboratories of the national time standard, optical biosensors, fibre lasers and others.
