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.

A research institute dedicated to research on regional issues, especially in terms of literary and artistic traditions. The institute is concerned with the study of regions in the Czech and Central European context and their inspiring role in cultural and artistic production.

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 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.

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.
