With the start of the new semester, the Faculty of Information Technology is launching a new website. The website is more responsive and adapts for better viewing on mobile phones and tablets; at the same time, its new structure reflects modern trends in the area of communication.

"The new website aims to bring the faculty closer to the public - especially people interested in studying at the faculty and applicants, companies interested in establishing co-operation with the faculty, as well as to the general public, which can use the website to learn more about the research and development at FIT. At the same time, we focused on ensuring that the new structure provides easy orientation to the current students and that information is always easy to find and up-to-date," said Vítězslav Beran, Vice-Dean for External Relations.

The design of the website is part of the unified visual communication of Brno University of Technology and is now used by all component parts of BUT. The faculty Computer Centre, the External Relations Department and other component parts of FIT participated in the creation of the new website of the Faculty. If you find any discrepancies on the new website, we would be very grateful if you could report them at web@fit.vut.cz.

The Faculty of Information Technology of BUT in co-operation with the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University organised the 13th Alpine Verification Meeting - AVM'19 which took place from 9 to 11 September. This is a meeting of people interested in current research in the area of automatic verification (as well as some other areas) from the Alpine region and the surrounding countries. At the meeting, mainly doctoral students were presenting their results, however, there were also three lectures given by prominent experts in the given area: J. Esparza of TU Munich, M. Pezze of Universita della Svizzera italiana and Universita degli studi di Milano Bicocca and N. Gorogiannis from Facebook. For more information, see HERE.

The participants of the Summer School (F)IT for girls had the opportunity to programme a LEGO robot, try hacking using a gummy bear, create their own chatbots or learn to edit photographs. Having the longest history in the Czech Republic, the event was organised for the thirteenth time this year in the period from 26 to 30 August 2019. It is intended primarily for students aged 12 to 19 who are interested in IT. With the FIT fits girls (FIT sluší dívkám) project, the faculty strives to support young girls so that they do not fear the IT fields. For more information, go to the Summer School website.
