In addition to Brno Technical University and Masaryk University, seven more Czech representatives were placed in the ranking this year, i.e. one more than last year. “Higher technical education succeeds best in the pair of fields of electrical engineering and nanotechnology,” said Tereza Kadrnožková, a spokeswoman for the school.
