In addition to conducting their own research and informing the public about its results, our staff have long been involved in training students and teaching regularly at universities.
In the winter semester of the 2025/26 academic year, university-level classes led by our colleagues have already begun. For example, since October, the Geology Section of the Faculty of Science at Charles University has been running a course on Analog modeling in Geosciences (Ondra Krýza and Prokop Závada), in which students use our Analogue Modeling Laboratory for experiments. Also a course taught by the Fulbright Foundation scholar hosted by our institute, Dr. Robert Moucha (Syracuse Univ., NY, USA), has been launched at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. His course, “Geodynamics of Basins,” focuses on the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins and, more generally, dynamics of the Earth’s crust surface, primarily from the perspective of physical principles and numerical modelling.
Information on other classes and instructors from our institute can be found here.
