On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, an informal meeting of representatives from institutions involved in the project “Reclamation of Mining Heritage under Climate Change Conditions” (MiReCC) took place at the Institute of Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies, and Innovation (CXI) at the Technical University of Liberec. The project is being implemented under the Interreg Saxony–Czech Republic 2021–2027 cross-border…

The first meeting between the new management of the Technical University of Liberec and journalists took place at the Institute for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies and Innovation, CXI TUL. Miroslav Černík also attended the meeting on behalf of CXI TUL. The new university management presented the main priorities that will shape the direction of TUL in…

The life of a scientist isn’t just about wearing a white lab coat; it’s also about international internships, endless reading of articles, and searching for answers to questions no one has asked before. Veronika Leová initially had no idea what working in research entailed. Today, as a doctoral student at the CXI TUL institute in…

Instead of time-consuming machining, large-format 3D printing is taking over, a process that monitors and continuously adjusts itself during production. This is the foundation of the Czech-German AI4MultiDirectAM project, whose ambition is to transform the production of molds for composite parts into a faster, more precise, and more cost-effective process. Molds for composite parts, such…

Cleaning up a contaminated site isn’t just about taking action; it’s mainly about correctly interpreting what’s happening beneath the surface. That’s where the decision is made as to whether the intervention will be fast, effective, and cost-efficient. A new project is therefore relying on artificial intelligence to uncover hidden connections from available information and help…

How good is the weld or surface finish on my product or a product I received? Was the defect caused by improper handling, or did the product have a hidden material defect? These are examples of questions that the team at the TUL CXI University Research Institute can resolve very quickly. Thanks to the SUPPORT4SME…

Membrane modules that return valuable substances from wastewater back to production while protecting the environment. A team from CXI TUL is working on their development in collaboration with MEGA Group and MemBrain. When designing new industrial equipment, they use computer modeling and 3D printing, which speeds up, refines, and reduces the cost of the entire…

Artificial intelligence, law, cybersecurity, and concrete experiences from digital transformation. The Behind the Curtain of Digitalization conference in Liberec demonstrated that digitalization is no longer merely a technological topic, but a key factor in the competitiveness of companies, institutions, and regions. The conference program offered a diverse perspective on digitalization from various angles. Topics discussed…

The SmartMold project demonstrates that a mold doesn’t have to be just a rigid tool that holds the product’s shape. It’s much better if it’s an active part of the entire process. It can heat itself and help control production so that it’s faster, more precise, and more cost-effective. 3D printing, molds, simulation, recycling In…

There are places that seem like reminders of mistakes that can never be undone. Old uranium mines, contaminated water, and landscapes scarred by industry. But this is precisely where a turning point is emerging. After three intensive years, the SURRI project demonstrates that old mining sites need not be merely symbols of an ecological debt,…
