  1. Czech Technical University in Prague Faculty of Electrical Engineering Prague, Czech Republic Department of Cybernetics MIRACLE – Centre of Excellence Machine Intelligence Research and Application Centre for Learning Excellence http://cyber.felk.cvut.cz/

  2. Mission Our aim is toundertake research which is internationally recognised in the chosen areas of specialism and to provide a high-quality, effective and efficient learning environment at all levels of higher education, which is internationally competitive and is professionally relevant.

  3. Education The Department of Cybernetics offers a wide range of both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in technical cybernetics, artificial intelligence, computer-integrated manufacturing, computer vision, pattern recognition and biomedical engineering. A new Ph.D. course at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering “Artificial Intelligence and Biocybernetics” was introduced in 1992. This branch currently belongs to the strongest at the CTU with more than 50 Ph.D. students
