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 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.

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 is aimed at the possibility of research concentration, exploitation of domestic and foreign libraries and archives or publication of the results achieved. The department carries out research on the problems of the historical process of modernization and analysis with emphasis on its anthropological dimension.

The Centre focuses on research on linguistic phenomena characteristic of English and German professional language and on research on professional discourse.
