We are involved in the inspection of feed, soil and plant nutrition or animal production. We have laboratories to carry out chemical analyses. We focus on organic farming controls and issue exemptions for the use of conventional seeds and seedlings. We organise seminars and issue professional publications.

The Hydrobiological Station, which was established in 1924 in the building of the former farmhouse by Prof. Karel Schäffern, is a detached workplace of the Faculty of Science. Its establishment was a continuation of Prof. Fritz's "flying" station founded in 1988, which was one of the oldest such stations in Europe.

We operate a scientific paleontology center. The aim of this Centre is to collect information from the Palaeozoic era relating to geology, statigraphy, localities and taxonomy.

We organize solar eclipse expeditions, offer astronomical information and observe comets, meteors or the moon. We offer courses in mirror grinding and building astronomical telescopes.
