Activities of the Centre aim at the research and development of all aspects of the geographical and environmental education. These can be distinguished into four different areas: empirical and applied research expert consultations and assessments of educational policy and curricula teacher training and pedagogy (including lifelong courses for teachers) The members of the Centre are […]
Our research is focused on cultural and historical geography, the geography of religion, environmental history and the history of geography. The Centre particularly specializes in research on issues of identity, heritage and religion and their overlapping with regional geography, research on landscape and settlement transformations, regional development and institutionalization of regions, and geographical education. The […]
Research Centre on Health, Quality of Life and Lifestyle in a Geodemographic and Socioeconomic Context (GeoQol) is an interdisciplinary oriented working group of scientific researchers, composed primarily of science teachers and students of the Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, Faculty of Science on the Charles University in Prague and the Department of Epidemiology and Public […]
We are a newly established lab focused on solving medically relevant basic biological questions. We strive to gain a better mechanistic insight into the processes co-regulated by direct protein-protein interaction between components of Notch and Wnt pathways and Non-canonical Notch-ligand mediated signaling in development, homeostasis and disease. Developmental and cellular biology, mouse models. Medically relevant […]
Research project: (Nano)Materials Modeling Our group ethos is to understand, design and optimize novel materials under realistic conditions via state of the art in silico methods. Our vision is to work in synergy with experiment to predict and create the important materials of the future. Materials for heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption and separation Zeolite hydrothermal stability […]
We are interested in connecting theory, observations, and data modelling of time-domain phenomena in astronomy. This includes transients such as core-collapse supernovae and stellar mergers, persistent variable sources such as eclipsing binaries and pulsating stars, and stellar dynamics. We are supported by the ERC Starting grant “Cat-In-hAT” to develop new computational methods to study binary […]
Our research concentrates on the discovery and characterization of freshwater, terrestrial, and symbiotic microalgal diversity. We are fundamentally interested in the evolution of morphological and ecological traits within closely related species. By combination of molecular, morphological, and ecophysiological methods, we aim to understand the mechanisms that have generated and distributed the diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms. […]
Metamorphic Petrology Research Group (MPRG) is composed of academic members of the Institute of Petrology and Strutural Geology and their post-graduate students. Our aim is to the study of textural and phase relations amongst minerals in metamorphic rocks. For this purpose, we use different modern approaches, mainly description of the distribution of elements in minerals […]
Research project: Ecosystem Ecology and Restoration Research Group The aim of our research is holistic understanding of ecosystem processes that determine ecosystem development after disturbance. Our findings are applicable in ecosystem restoration namely restoration of ecosystems affected by mining or other disturbances such as intensive agriculture. In our work, we combine approaches of soil ecology, […]
The effects of current and future climate changes on global ecosystems represent a critical issue in modern science. However, modeling of future climate changes and their influence on global ecosystems is difficult without knowledge of past climate changes. The geological record provides abundant evidence that climate as well as overal biodiversity have varied throughout Earth‘s […]
