History of the Faculty of Environmental Technology, UCT Prague

Abstract

The article describes the history of establishing the Faculty of Environmental Protection Technology from the beginnings of teaching the fuel and water technologies in the Czech Lands more than 150 years ago to the present day. It describes in detail the founding of the faculty and their departments, as well as the subsequent historical development of the newly established faculty in individual important periods. Attention is paid especially to the period of the 1970s – 1990s, in which there were major personnel changes at the faculty. After 1989, further development of the faculty took place; two new departments focused on waste disposal, disposal of old environmental burdens, and product ecology (LCA, MFA) were founded at the faculty. A summary of the international relations and application activities of the faculty staff over the past 70 years is compiled in the form of tables in the Internet version of the article.
