As a member of the European University Association, the University has become an active part of the European and world higher education and research area.The University of Pardubice has been extending almost seventy year long tradition of higher education in the city of Pardubice. The Chemical College, later known for 40 years as the Institute of Chemical Technology, was founded in Pardubice in 1950 to answer the needs of the East Bohemian Region, which had a highly developed chemical industry, yet lacked professionally trained specialists in this field.
After the year 1990, the character of the Institute changed, new faculties were founded offering a wide range of study programmes not only chemistry-related. Since 1994, the new name - the University of Pardubice - has been used. The University of Pardubice is one of the 26 public higher education institutions in the Czech Republic, and the only higher university-type educational institution in Pardubice Region. Its educational, scientific, research and development activities are realized with accordance to the Higher Education Act No. 111/1998, and towards the European Higher Education and Research Area.
The tradition of higher education in Pardubice reaches back to the first months after the Second World War and is very closely connected to the development of the transport network and food, machine and chemical industry in the city and the region. In the autumn 1945, local chemical factories suggested the establishment of a chemical college in Pardubice. Five years later, on June 27, 1950, the Czech government established the Chemical Institute. The classes started on October 15, 1950 in the restored buildings of the former Technical College of Food Industry. In the following academic year, the former building of the Technical College of Engineering was reconstructed for the needs of the Chemical Institute and since then has been in use as the main building of the Faculty of Chemical Technology in the Cs. legii square.
During more than 65 years of its existence, the Institute of Chemical Technology and later the University of Pardubice has become an important centre of education with more than fifteen thousand professionally trained graduates. The University with its more than 8 thousand students and highly professional academic staff, the only higher education institution of the university type in the Pardubice region is deeply rooted in the city and the whole region enriching and inspiring them culturally.
Hopefully, the motto Omni thesauro sapientia praestat et auro - Wisdom is more valuable than gold and all the world’s treasures will be equally inspiring for the University of Pardubice in the future.
