Czech Republic - Prague Local Name: Ceska Zemedelska Univerzita V Praze
For more than a century our University has been the centre of higher education in agricultural and forestry sciences in the central European region of Bohemia. In harmony with global trends, the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, our Institute of Tropics and Subtropics (the only educational and research institute of such kind in the Czech Republic), as well as our two new Faculties of Environmental Sciences & Forestry and Wood Sciences respectively, are putting more and more emphasis on educating students in the crucial areas of safety in the food chain and protection of the biosphere, including sustainable land and water management. Our Faculty of Engineering also educates graduates in ecologically sound waste management, environmentally friendly road vehicle management and alternative energy production (i.e. solar cell technology). Finally, the Faculty of Economics and Management, by far the largest Faculty of the university, offers its graduates more courses focusing on the rural sectors of economy and on modern, up-to-date management of private and corporate as well as state enterprises. Our university educates future leaders who will be mindful of our planet´s natural resources, as well as related socio-economic and environmental issues.
