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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Offering comprehensive archival services, overseeing the performance of filing services. Ensuring comprehensive care of stored archives, including their use. Also focusing on the processing of archives. Participation in scientific, research and publication activities in the field of archives.

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.
