Symposium Presented Trends in Materials for Clean Energy

20. 8. 2025 News
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at VSB-TUO, in cooperation with Yonsei University, hosted the international mini-symposium Materials for Clean Energy. The event offered a diverse program of scientific lectures and showcased the latest research directions in nanomaterials, clean energy, and artificial intelligence. Researchers from the Czech Republic and Korea shared their newest results and discussed possibilities for their practical applications.

The symposium was opened by Rector Václav Snášel, who emphasized the importance of artificial intelligence in modern science and technology. Vice-Rector for Strategy and Cooperation Igor Ivan introduced the REFRESH project, Professor Martin Pumera presented current research in the field of nanorobots, and Vice-Dean for Industry Cooperation Petr Šimoník highlighted the activities of the Mobility Lab. Vice-Dean for Science and Research Radek Martinek introduced the participants to the work of the Signal Lab.
“Research in clean energy increasingly relies on interdisciplinary approaches, from nanorobotics to advanced materials. International collaboration allows us to accelerate progress and bring these ideas closer to real-world applications,” stressed Professor Martin Pumera, head of the international research group Advanced Nanorobots and Multiscale Robotics Lab.

The symposium featured not only the university’s and faculty’s strategic projects but also cutting-edge research by the Korean guests: from graphene membranes and electrocatalysts to photonic conversions and modern battery technologies.
The symposium confirmed that the path toward sustainable energy solutions leads through international cooperation, joint projects, knowledge sharing, and long-term partnerships.
