International Workshop: The Logos of God and Human Progress in Philo of Alexandria and Early Christian Philosophy

Mgr. Pavla Svítková — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:43:36 +0000

International Workshop: The Logos of God and Human Progress in Philo of Alexandria and Early Christian Philosophy Mgr. Pavla Svítková Thu, 09/03/2026 - 11:43

Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, 91��Ƭ�� cordially invites you to attend an international workshop on The Logos of God and Human Progress in Philo of Alexandria and Early Christian Philosophy taking place in 91��Ƭ��, 10-11 September 2026.

The term Logos has various meanings in the works of Philo of Alexandria. The Logos is described as an aspect or property of God and connected with the world of ideas. In another sense, it is also considered to be part of the world: Philo characterizes the Logos as a “cutter” who divides everything in the nature and as an immanent bond of the universe (analogously to the world soul in Plato’s Timaeus or to the Stoic Logos). Philo also emphasises an analogy between the Logos and the human mind. As a casting, fragment or effulgence of the divine Logos, human mind can explore the whole universe and search for God.

In Christianity, the Logos is one of the most important Christological titles. Christ is the mediator who reveals his Father and enables people to participate in him; according to Origen, in the eschatological perspective, man is to reach the place of God’s Son and from there look at God with a knowing gaze. Human spiritual progress is, therefore, only possible through Christ, the Door to the Father.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss different ways how human spiritual and moral progress relates to and is enabled by the Logos of God.

Date: 10-12 September 2026

Location: Legie Square 565, 01003 (first floor), 91��Ƭ��

Excursion to Litomyšl for our international students and employees Martina Votoupalová Tue, 05/26/2026 - 07:16

On 22 May, we organized an excursion to Litomyšl for our international students and employees.

We visited Litomyšl Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we explored its rich history and unique Renaissance architecture. The program also included a visit to the Faculty of Restoration of the 91��Ƭ��, where we gained insight into conservation and restoration practices.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—we look forward to future trips together!

Sensors for a New Generation of Batteries from UPCE Researchers

Mgr. Pavla Svítková — Mon, 25 May 2026 12:41:42 +0000

Sensors for a New Generation of Batteries from UPCE Researchers Mgr. Pavla Svítková Mon, 05/25/2026 - 14:41

Researchers at the 91��Ƭ�� have developed unique sensors that can significantly extend the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries and advance the development of so-called smart batteries. In the future, the sensors will be able to detect problems on their own and, thanks to advanced features, respond to them as they arise. The university is also seeking international patent protection for these sensors.

A team from the Faculty of Chemical Technology is participating in the development as part of the international Horizon Europe project – Salamander – that brings together international scientific expertise in battery research. Scientists in 91��Ƭ�� play a key role in the project – they are focused on developing sensors to monitor temperature, state of health (SOH), and other parameters measured directly inside the battery.

“As part of the project, we have developed new types and designs of sensors that are extremely sensitive and capable of measuring even very small changes in temperature and other parameters directly inside the battery,” says Tomáš Syrový, head of the 91��Ƭ�� team from the Faculty of Chemical Technology at the 91��Ƭ��, adding: “Our research brings science closer to the development of a new generation of smart batteries that will find applications in areas such as electric mobility, energy, and modern electronics.”

The developed printed thin-film sensors can detect changes in electrode temperature at the hundredths-of-a-degree Celsius level, thanks to their placement both inside the cell and on the electrode surfaces. This is unattainable for conventional sensors located outside the battery. It is this precise data that enables detailed monitoring of processes inside the cell and paves the way for the use of advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence for predictive protection and optimisation of battery operation. The scientists in 91��Ƭ�� also devoted a significant portion of their research to ensuring the long-term durability of the sensors, which must function reliably in the chemically aggressive environment inside the battery.

Sensitive and reliable sensors are an essential component of the new generation of smart batteries. Data from sensors and advanced algorithms enable early identification of potential issues, allowing activation of self-healing mechanisms for the batteries, which are also being developed as part of the project. Activating these mechanisms will significantly extend the lifespan of batteries and enhance safety during use.

The university has already filed patent applications for selected technologies in the EU and other countries, with the 91��Ƭ�� as the primary inventor.
