‘It isn’t easy to find appropriate facilities with sufficient technology and equipment for work in science and technology in our field. Luckily, co-operation with Trigema right from the phase of park construction has helped to create a space where we can focus fully on our work, while employees of the Science and Technology Park in Roztoky take care of the day-to-day running.’
Ing. Bohumil Mareš, Ph. D., Executive Director
The project’s main partner is the CTU’s Mechanical Engineering Faculty, represented by the Centre of Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility (CVSM). The Centre of Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility’s core focus is the research and development of internal combustion engines (petrol, gas, alternative fuel) and diesel combustion engines for cars and heavy vehicles. Engine research is focused on thermodynamics, internal aerodynamics, supercharging with compressor or turbo-compressor, the use of conventional and newly discovered technologies, reducing and subsequently adjusting emissions, intelligent engine control systems, engine dynamics and strength of groups applied in optimising construction. The centre also undertakes research and development in the field of constructing vehicle gearboxes and optimising power transmission (mechanical, hydraulic and electric transmission), vehicle suspension construction (including active mechatronic elements and their control), body aerodynamics and passive safety.
‘From the very beginning, when we began considering the expansion of the Eaton European Innovation Centre, Roztoky Science Park was one of the principal candidates for us. We know Trigema from Roztoky’s Science and Technology Park. We were satisfied here both with the premises and services. The Science Park was thus the next logical step to be able to use cutting edge laboratories, offices and other services. Our new premises were tailored to our needs, and correspond to our requirements. Thanks to Trigema, we have the best working environment and we can dedicate ourselves fully to our activities.’

‘Trigema is moving our scientific and research work fundamentally forwards. When the CTU founded the UCEEB centre, it was established in an old industrial zone. Construction of STP Buštěhrad has resulted in a true Western-style research site which will cause the ideal fusion of the university environment with the business sector, where our partners – including Trigema – will be able to exploit our results, and we will in contrast be able to respond flexibly to their needs.’
doc. Ing. Lukáš Ferkl, Ph.D., Manager, UCEEB ČVUT
UCEEB’s objective is energy efficient buildings in ‘green - smart - reasonably-priced’ terms. As such, it focuses on renewable energy sources, smart networks, smart materials and intelligent buildings.
UCEEB was founded in 2010 as an independent university institute of the CTU in Prague supported by the European Fund for Regional Development and the CR’s national budget. The building in Buštěhrad was officially opened on 15 May 2014. UCEEB brings together leading academics from four faculties – Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. UCEEB’s objective is to help scientists from fields closely related to energy efficient buildings work together and deal with the issue comprehensively. It is a response to one of the European Union’s most important priorities – making energy savings in buildings (buildings consume 40% of all energy).
UCEEB wants to participate in specialist European projects such as the Joint Technology Initiative on Energy Efficient Buildings, which has arisen from the European Union’s objectives of reducing CO2 emissions.
‘We need corresponding laboratory facilities for our specialised activities. STP Roztoky represents one of the most modern centres, and we can rely on its services and equipment.’
