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. We are proud of: – long­‑standing cooperation with industral partners; – 54% of foreign students; – excellent job opportunities for graduates and also part­‑time jobs and internships for students; – CERIT Science Park cerit.fi.muni.cz; – Cyber Exercise & Research Platform kypo.fi.muni.cz; – organization of conferences: Text, Speech and Dialogue; Computational Methods in Systems Biology 2018; EuroVis 2018; CEQIP or DIMEA Days. 21 Research Laboratories The faculty is a home to a diverse group of research labora‑ tories and centres where students at all levels participate in research under the guidance of skilled academics. Since 2018, the faculty hosts a prestigious grant from the European Re‑ search Council. Students acquire hands‑on experience with leading‑edge technologies and make contact with the latest findings from around the world. They have a natural opportuni‑ ty to participate in research projects—even undergraduates at the faculty have published original research results in interna‑ tional journals. Areas of Research Scientific research at the FI is organized rather informally, within flexible research groups which can quickly respond to current challenges and trends in the scientific world. At the FI we address research questions and problems from all fields of informatics and related disciplines. Research groups, structured according to the ACM 2012 classification: – Applied Computing – Artificial Intelligence – Computer Systems Organization – Computing in Life And Medical Sciences – Hardware – Human­‑Centered Computing and HCI – Information Systems – Mathematics of Computing – Networks – Security and Privacy – Software and Its Engineering – Theory of Computation Teaching We offer 3 bachelor’s programs, 6 master’s programs (3 of them are given in English) and doctoral study programme Computer Science. Connection with Renowned Scientists In 2019 two holders of the ACM Turing Prize, Donald E. Knuth and Dana Scott, held lectures at Masaryk University and the Faculty of Informatics. Donald E. Knuth has a strong relation to the FI, and since 1996 has been Doctor honoris causa in the field of mathematical sciences of the Masaryk University on the proposal of the FI. Since 2019 the Faculty of Informatics offers professor chair, named after Donald Ervin Knuth. The chair is currently held by prof. Daniel Král’.
