Centres of Excellence
Centre of Excellence of Integrated Flood Protection Systems
The centre studies and proposes methods, elements and activities that serve to secure the protection of people and environmental systems from extremes of the hydrological regime. It renders water-management services to citizens, industry, agriculture, production of hydropower and water transport. It systematically monitors the amount and environmental quality of waters and introduction of new methods for water planning and catchment areas’ management.

Centre of Excellence for the Settlement Infrastructure Development of the
Knowledge-Based Economy
Research activities of this centre offer tools for optimising the infrastructure of settlement and for space optimising economic activities from the point of view of sustainability of land development and of creation of the micro-environment of humans. They are focused on harmonising settlement activities and on sustainable use of natural resources, including land space, due to systems of values, demands and possibilities of the knowledge-based society.
