CERIT-SP: VT park and business incubator

The faculty operates the CERIT-SP science and technology park right on its campus. The linking of university and corporate environments in a single location provides a unique ecosystem that enables:

• Dynamic collaboration between faculty and companies in teaching (compulsory internships, conducting final theses) and in key areas of information technology (security of mobile and data networks, security of energy facilities and other critical infrastructure, protection against cyber attacks and other areas);
• rapid transfer of R&D results from the university to practice;
• create an authentic collaborative environment that fosters creativity and innovation;
• daily contact of students with the business environment already during their studies, giving an advantage in the labour market and expanding the knowledge exchange between the university and the corporate world.

The CERIT Science Park opened in September 2014. The total leased area is 2,200 ^m2 with capacity for up to 20 companies.
