Course objectives
Brno becomes a major technology center of the Czech Republic and local companies are expected to offer jobs in R&D positions also to graduates of physics courses. Physics in business offers series of presentations of both small dynamic companies and branches of international companies who gradually transfer their research project to Czech Republic. Besides the description of various industrial applications of physical knowledge students should learn also about economical and management issues of technology research. We plan to include also presentations of several institutes of the Academy of sciences located in Brno.
