Education is also a key activity of the institute. We are actively involved in teaching and supervising students in bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programmes.
The Institute of Aquaculture and Protection of Waters thus connects biological and technological research into a multidisciplinary whole. It also actively participates in the activities of the faculty research centre CENAKVA, thanks to which it offers scientists and partner organisations unique opportunities for collaboration. Owing to the CENAKVA infrastructure, the institute provides open and free access to modern laboratories and specialised services. Those interested can make use of our teams’ state‑of‑the‑art equipment and thus advance their research further.
