Institute of Thermomechanics of the CAS

Our mission is to study the properties of fluids and solids, their complex motions and interactions, and the processes occurring in them under thermal and/or mechanical loading. As a multidisciplinary research organisation, we also study complex dynamics of mechanical systems, electromechanical energy conversions and their control using power electronic devices, and develop applications of thermal plasma. To fulfil our mission, we create mathematical models and algorithms, diagnostic and measurement methods and scientific sensors and instruments. Besides curiosity-driven research, which is at the heart of our purpose, we transfer our knowledge to society by educating future scientists, promoting public awareness of science and applying our research findings in industrial settings and the public sector to initiate innovations in various fields of technology. To achieve the best results, we foster the enthusiasm, motivation and confidence of our staff by implementing the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and constantly enriching our Human Resource Strategy for Researchers.
