Masaryk
University
Tradition and Prestige
Masaryk University is the second largest university in the
Czech Republic. Its Faculty of Informatics (FI) was established
in 1994 as the first independent Computer Science faculty in
the country. The faculty’s high level of scholarship has earned
it an excellent research rating in various applied and theoretical
areas of Computer Science and Information Technology.
According to the national ranking, CERGE EI 2016, we have the
best informatics research results in the Czech Republic.

Faculty of Informatics. Donald E. Knuth has a strong relation
to the FI, and since 1996 has been Doctor honoris causa in the
field of mathematical sciences of the Masaryk University on the
proposal of the FI. Since 2019 the Faculty of Informatics offers
professor chair, named after Donald Ervin Knuth.
The chair is currently held by prof. Daniel Král’.
Boasting a vibrant history, prosperous business excellence,
9 flourishing universities, and a thriving cultural life, Brno is
a city of innovation and diversity. It is at the heart of the South
Moravian region and its 400,000 residents make it the second

parks and surrounding nature, familiarising yourself with its
rich history, relaxing with a glass of locally­‑grown wine or
visiting the adrenalin­‑pumped world­‑famous MotoGP, Brno
truly is the place to be.
Brno enjoys fast growing centres of business, trade, science,
Information Technology, research and innovation with its
