Masaryk University is the second largest university in the
Czech Republic. Its Faculty of Informatics (FI) was established
in 1994 as the first independent Computer Science faculty in
the country. The faculty’s high level of scholarship has earned
it an excellent research rating in various applied and theoretical
areas of Computer Science and Information Technology.
According to the national ranking, CERGE EI 2016, we have the
best informatics research results in the Czech Republic.
