We conduct scientific research in the areas of prehistoric and early history in the territory of Moravia and Silesia, mostly based on archaeological sources. We focus on Paleolithic and Paleoethnology research, research into the Roman period and the migration of peoples, and Slavic and medieval archaeology. The Institute publishes scientific publications.

The Centre is focused on research, support and development of science gifted pupils living and studying in the Moravian-Silesian Region. We also support teachers, assistants and parents of the gifted, as well as those who meet them in many other activities.

The department focuses on the knowledge, understanding and management of technological and natural hazards. It carries out research in the field of risk analysis methodology. Provides contract processing for the public sector and private enterprises, and support for teaching in the Faculty of Safety Engineering.

We are a research institute of higher education. We focus on research and development in the field of feedstock transformation, especially in waste and alternative fuels. On usable forms of energy and their subsequent efficient use.

The Centre profiles itself as a research institution of the Departments of Education for Citizenship and Music Education of the Faculty of Education of the University of Ostrava and develops one of the priority directions of research at the Faculty of Education under the title: culture - identity - region.

Research on issues related to the extraction and use of energy resources. By uniting the research activities of two organizations, it will be possible to respond more effectively to the problems and practical tasks coming from users in the economic sphere.

The Archives supervises the methodological management of the Central General Records Office and manages the museum collections housed in the old headquarters building.

Research in the areas of engineering physics with a focus on solid and liquid phase mechanics and their interactions. We operate a centre for intelligent systems and structures.

We operate an institute engaged in research and application of fuzzy modeling. We are engaged in the development of new algorithms for global optimization problems or improvement of software tools for fuzzy modeling of complex processes. We try to extend and improve existing fuzzy modeling methods.

We focus on research into the materials and processes of the Earth's crust and their effects on the environment. We study the structure and properties of anthropogenic sediments, physical laws and mechanisms of induced processes in rocks. We organize lectures at universities and courses.

Teaching, research and analytical activities in the field of nanotechnology. Focuses on the preparation of metal nanoparticles using biotechnology, preparation and characterization of layered silicates and hydrotalcites intercalated with organic molecules.

Scientific and technical department of the University of Mining and Metallurgy Ostrava dedicated to the study of bulk material processes. The tasks in the field of processes, storage and transport of bulk materials are solved here.

The Institute of Physics in Opava is the successor of the Institute of Physics, which was part of the Faculty of Philosophy and Science of the Silesian University in Opava since 1991
