The JOSEF Underground Educational Facility
The Josef Underground Educational Facility (Josef UEF) is a new Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague facility which opened in June 2007. The facility is located near the Slapy reservoir and the village of Čelina in the Příbram district.
The Josef UEF is employed primarily for the teaching of students from the CTU and other universities. Other activities include research and cooperation on projects commissioned by the private business sector. The range of activities provided by the Josef facility is unique not only in the Czech Republic but throughout the whole of Europe.
The construction of the facility was inspired by similar underground training centres in other European countries and the USA. Underground facilities run by universities provide a high level of practical education for students in real conditions and contribute to closer cooperation between universities and the world of business.
