What will the trash tell us?

What they do in reality speaks best about household behavior. An integral part of life is the production of municipal waste, the composition of which hides many secrets. Experts from FSE UJEP are unraveling one and their efforts will bring information on how to rationalize and optimize waste management, which is now transformed into the so-called “circular management”. Within the project Smart City – Smart Region – Smart Community, this is another very specific topic that fits into the concept of improving the quality of life of people.

A platform for green and blue infrastructure for the second time

Prague plans to plant a million trees in the fight against climate change, and up to ten million trees within the Czech Republic. Is it enough? It will help? What role can modern technology and the Internet play in these efforts?

We will be able to hear about the platform in the future as well

Based on this meeting of the Platform for Green and Blue Infrastructure, a common position of the Platform will be formed in the form of the so-called Policy Brief addressed to local government representatives, legislators and other stakeholders in the field.

The meeting of experts within the Platform will continue. “Another topic of the Platform will be the topic of rainwater management in cities and municipalities,” added Jan Macháč, FSE UJEP, the main organizer of the Platform.

The platform for green and blue infrastructure was established within the project of the J. E. Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem SMART CITY – SMART REGION – SMART COMMUNITY.

Innovative science and technology programs for doctoral students

The Faculty of Environment and the Faculty of Science succeeded in re-accreditation of doctoral programs. Both successful programs were authorized to teach this spring for the next 10 years. This was due to activities in the STUVIN project, which is common to the aforementioned UJEP faculties.

Benefits for UJEP and Ústí region

The development of scientific work in nanotechnologies and analytical chemistry has been the subject of many activities for many years, especially the work of scientific teams at the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of the Environment. These activities are continually carried out in the framework of numerous ongoing research projects (the most important to be found here), but they are also part of the important strategic project of MATECH. He is also applying for financial support from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.

More about MATECH in UJEP press release. More about MATECH in an interview with UJEP Rector Martin Balej at iDNES.cz.

The new disciplines will provide support for the further development of nanotechnology and analytical chemistry at our university as part of its strategic goals. It should bring new promising workers to UJEP and the region. As a result, the region can continue its industrial tradition in a modern and gentle way.
