College of Polytechnics Jihlava Closing conference on ElBiK project Michal Vopálenský
Katedra elektrotechniky a informatiky College of Polytechnics Jihlava – public educational institution of non-universitary manner (2 in the Czech Republic) intended as a practice–oriented educational institution (analogy to Fachhochschule / School of Engineering) established 2004 first technical study programme : 7 study fields in 5 study programmes, most fields offered in present and combined form

Katedra elektrotechniky a informatiky
equipment / instrument portfolio enhanced constantaneously recently set of devices and sensors bought to equip a sensor laboratory (ElBiK) – two new courses on the topic upcoming technology for PCB developed in cooperation with local companies
Katedra elektrotechniky a informatiky Outlooks: tremendous effort made to increase the attractiveness of the study master field of study upon consideration formation of working teams after significant staff modification in progress growing academic & industrial cooperation networks
