In September, we will once again participate in Digital Czech Republic Week.
This year, through thematic events organized by the Department of Informatics, we are once again joining the largest educational event in the field of digitization in the Czech Republic, which will take place from September 8 to 14, 2025, throughout the country, both physically and online. The project is organized by the Office of the Government – the Digital Czech Republic platform, and the Faculty of Science at UJEP is its proud partner.
The overarching theme of Digital Czech Republic Week will once again be the development of digital skills, focusing on three main areas: the digital future of the labor market, the digital world for everyone, and the digital technologies of tomorrow.
