Organizational structure of CEITEC Nano

CEITEC Nano is the joint, national, single-sited research infrastructure of the Central European Institute of Technology at the Brno University of Technology (CEITEC BUT) and Masaryk University (CEITEC MU). It is operated under CEITEC BUT​, which is an independent university institute (due to Czech law the university institutes hold a similar status to faculties). Masaryk University (CEITEC MU) is involved in the research infrastructure via a partnership agreement. The head of the research infrastructure is responsible to the Board of the Research Infrastructure which consists of representatives of CEITEC BUT and CEITEC MU. The head of CEITEC Nano is further advised by the International Advisory Board and by the User Committee.
