The actual history of our university begins in 1906 with the establishment, by decree of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I, of a Faculty of Agriculture at the Czech Polytechnics in Prague. Professor Julius Stoklasa, a renowned specialist in soil chemistry, became the first Dean of the Faculty.
In harmony with global trends, the Faculty of Agrobiology, Institute of Tropics and Subtropics, as well as our two new Faculties of Environmental Sciences & Forestry and Wood Sciences are putting more and more emphasis on educating students in the crucial areas of safety in the food chain and protection of the biosphere. The Faculty of Engineering also educates graduates in ecologically sound waste management, environmentally friendly road vehicle management and alternative energy production. Finally, the Faculty of Economics and Management, the largest Faculty of the university, offers more courses focusing on the rural, modern sectors of economy, up-to-date management of private, corporate&state enterprises.
At CULS research is systematically carried out in the area of life sciences and bioeconomy: from physiology and molecular biology, forestry, environmental issues and rural development to modern management methods and cutting edge technologies.
