Partnership Programme
Although Matfyz ranks among the most prominent academic institutions (generating approximately 6 % of research output in all around the Czech Republic), large number of our alumni pursues after graduation predominantly practical job positions in both small and large, local and multinational companies. Consequentially, we have always seen it as significant to ensure that teaching at Matfyz offers a clear continuity in practice.
The Partnership Programme at CUNI MFF enables this cooperation between the Faculty and the commercial sphere. It also aids to shift into a qualitatively higher and more comprehensive level of cooperation in order to absolutely fulfil the existing potential. This website introduces companies, which are currently taking part in the CUNI MFF partnership programme.
The Partnership Programme is following the Dean's measure For sponsorship and partnership cooperation and promotion of scientific activities at the CUNI MFF (OD 6/2021).
