The 4-year partnership between the JKU and the University of Brno has proven to be very successful.

Initiated by Dr. Barta (BUT) and Dr. Bramerdorfer (JKU), the partnership between the Brno University of Technology (BUT) and the JKU has been going strong since 2018. The two universities are working together on, among other things, new methods to optimize electrical machines and new machine topologies. The main objectives include increasing efficiency while simultaneously minimizing the use of resources (sustainability) and costs (reducing costs often goes hand-in-hand with reducing resources).

The partnership is already impressively broad and growing exponentially, also reflected in the number of joint research activities, publications and jointly supervised graduate degree theses. Most recently, the University of Brno became a scientific partner at the K2 Center, coordinated by the Linz Center of Mechatronics.
