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.

Research and development in the Moravian-Silesian region with a focus on the long-term development of priority fields of their integration into the European research area. Development and research in the fields of nanotechnology, mechatronics, new materials and technologies for their production and environmental technologies.

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 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.

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.

We provide professional services for the development and implementation of national water policy focusing on hydraulics, hydrology, hydrogeology. We are engaged in promoting water protection, flood prevention and waste and packaging management, research on the status, use and changes of aquatic ecosystems and their links in the landscape.

The Institute is a research centre of the Faculty of Social Studies, cooperating with eight European universities in Finland, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, the UK and other affiliated members across Europe.

We deal with additional, extension and specialisation studies. We focus on research activities in the field of complementary educational studies in education. We develop study materials and carry out innovations in the specialisation study of school management and educational counselling.

The main tasks of the Centre are to expand the frontiers of knowledge in the field of kinanthropology; to transfer research results to the general public; to provide high professional support for student education; to cooperate with the commercial sphere in the field of body composition measurement and physical ability testing.

Providing advanced supercomputing technology and services to teams in academia and industry. We operate two supercomputers. Topics include data processing and analysis, development of parallel scalable algorithms, engineering problem solving, modeling for nanotechnology.

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

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.

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.
