HEADQUARTERS
DEPARTMENT
The Heart of our Research Center.
The CXI headquarters department is not only the engine but also the compass of the entire CXI TUL. This is where strategic direction is decided, visions are created, and conditions are established to ensure that research and cooperation with partners run smoothly and efficiently. This allows the research departments to focus on science and innovation for the future, while we create a solid foundation and ensure smooth operations. We manage not only the running of the institute, but also its future direction. We ensure that CXI TUL is an active player in the world of science, innovation, and international cooperation.
Research Department
The Research Department handles matters related to CXI’s scientific and research activities. Its activities focus primarily on preparing documents related to strategy and the development of science, research, and development at CXI.

We flush it down the toilet. We clean it up. But the micropollutants remain.
Medications, cosmetics, and everyday chemicals disappear from our homes into the trash. But they don’t disappear completely. They often end up in the water. And from there, they can have a long-term impact on rivers, the life within them, and our own lives. Luboš Mrkva from CXI TUL led the MIKROP project, which sought to…

A laser that can adjust itself—and recognize when it has made a mistake
Scientists at CXI TUL are developing laser systems that can operate without a technician present. The laser adjusts itself precisely as needed and uses sound to determine whether the process is proceeding correctly. Research in the LasApp project is aimed at both space applications and everyday manufacturing. Adjusting a laser is delicate work. If a…

Beads with a nanofiber core. This is a better way to purify water.
Wastewater treatment plants struggle every day with substances that don’t simply disappear from the water. The removal of nitrogen compounds is very important at these plants. If too much of these substances remains in the water, they harm rivers and the life within them. Karel Havlíček from CXI TUL was a co-investigator on the HYMNA…

Science on the Front Lines: Cleanup of a Benzene Spill
In late February 2025, a train carrying benzene derailed in Hustopeče nad Bečvou, and within hours, a race was on to save the groundwater and surface water. One of the most toxic industrial substances began seeping into the gravel-sand subsoil. While fieldwork was underway to prevent the spread of contamination, decisions were already being made…

“Baby bags? That’s how the journey to a product begins,” says Miroslava Rysová
A bizarre email about “baby bags,” skin-friendly laundry sheets, or eye drops with nanoparticles. Research by Miroslava Rysová and the Department of Applied Biology at CXI TUL shows that the path from laboratory research to a practical product is often surprising, challenging, but frequently much more pragmatic than companies initially imagine. When did you first…
