Construction of Biocentrum at the Albertov Campus is progressing, with the underground structure taking shape rapidly. Reinforced concrete walls, columns and floor slabs for the underground levels are being built simultaneously. While some sections are already complete, others are still undergoing reinforcement, formwork installation and concreting.

The Faculty of Science, Charles University, together with its partners, has launched an international selection procedure for the position of Scientific Director of the newly established Albertov Biocentre. This largest infrastructure project in the modern history of Charles University, worth nearly CZK 5.5 billion, will offer state-of-the-art facilities for natural sciences and biomedical fields. The Biocentre is seeking a global leader to shape the strategic direction of top-tier education and research.

The Biocentrum is being established as a multidisciplinary center of excellence with a strong emphasis on research quality, international collaboration, and openness. Before it becomes operational, an international Scientific Council will be appointed. Together with the Director of the Biocentrum, it will participate in selecting suitable research groups, regularly evaluating their performance, and formulating the center’s development strategy. Explore examples of research groups proposed by the faculties for placement within the Biocentrum.

Work on the foundations of the Biocentrum building is nearing completion. Only the final piles and geothermal boreholes remain, and the first of the tower cranes – essential for the next phase of construction – now rises above the site.
29 October 2025
Construction work on the Biocentre at the Albertov Campus is continuing at a rapid pace. By mid-October, 205 of the 267 planned piles that form the building's basic support structure had already been drilled. Meanwhile, 19 of the 48 geothermal wells required for ecological heating have been completed.
15 October 2025
Foundation work continues at the Biocentrum site within the Albertov Campus. By the end of September, the construction team had drilled 156 foundation piles and completed 12 geothermal boreholes. These have already undergone outfitting – the installation of necessary pipes and reinforcement – as well as pressure grouting to ensure their strength and long-term functionality. A total of 48 boreholes will be installed.
