Palacký University has recently undergone a rigorous evaluation by an International Evaluation Panel, which focuses, among other things, on improving the quality of the research environment, the societal impact of universities’ scientific work, and the strategies for developing research institutions. The visit of the panel, composed of experts from foreign universities, was part of a national assessment of research organizations that takes place once every five years, aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of Czech universities in the field of science and research.
The International Evaluation Panel consists of independent and renowned experts from various scientific disciplines. UP hosted ten evaluators who came to Olomouc from universities in France, Austria, the USA, Portugal, Poland, Slovenia, and Hungary. During the three‑day program, the panel members visited all eight faculties and the IMTM, held discussions with the rector, vice‑rectors, deans, vice‑deans, as well as other academics, research professionals, and administrative staff. At the IMTM, they had the opportunity to tour our laboratories and research equipment.
