Mendel University in Brno

Mendel Uni­ver­sity in Brno (MENDELU) is a pub­lic higher edu­ca­tion insti­tu­tion financed by Min­istry of Edu­ca­tion, Youth and Sports in the Czech Repub­lic. It was estab­lished in 1919 as the Uni­ver­sity of Agri­cul­ture in Brno and it oper­ated under this name until 1994. The estab­lish­ment of the uni­ver­sity crowned the many-​year efforts to found an agri­cul­tural uni­ver­sity in Moravia, which has always been one of the most advanced agri­cul­tural areas in cen­tral Europe. The uni­ver­sity has gone through a num­ber of changes in the orga­ni­za­tional struc­ture as well as in the con­tent of its study and research dur­ing its exis­tence and has pre­pared dozens of thou­sands experts for pro­fes­sions in var­i­ous sec­tors of national economy.
