Professional Seminar and Workshop: Power Electronics for Sustainable Energy and Electromobility

18 Jun 2026   08:30-15:30

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU in Prague invites professionals and representatives of industrial companies to a seminar and workshop focused on power electronics and its key role in modern energy systems and electromobility. The event, organized by the Department of Electric Drives and Traction, will take place on June 18, 2026, at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, CTU in Dejvice. Participation is free of charge, but prior registration is required.

Power electronics represents one of the fundamental pillars of modern power industry and electromobility. It is an exceptionally complex field, referred to by researchers at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, CTU as the “decathlon of electrical engineering,” as it integrates knowledge from materials science, control systems, power components, and system-level management. This comprehensive approach is also reflected in the power electronics research conducted at the faculty.

The aim of the seminar is to provide an overview of currently researched topics in this field. The morning session will consist of expert lectures, with a strong emphasis on discussion regarding the transfer of scientific results into industrial practice. In the afternoon, participants may choose one of two workshops. The event will conclude with a guided tour of the laboratories of the Department of Electric Drives and Traction.
