OPUS OPTIMUM

The Opus Optimum competition is an internal competition of the Jihlava Polytechnic University for the best scientific or professional work.

The competition is announced once a calendar year. Works published in the year for which the competition is announced can be submitted for evaluation. The proposed works are judged by a jury consisting of the Rector, the Vice-Rector for Creative and Project Activities and the President of the Academic Senate of the University of Applied Sciences. The results are published in the first quarter of the following calendar year.

The main objective of this internal competition is to support the creative and publishing activities of the academic staff of the VŠPJ. In 2023, the results of the 11th edition of Opus Optimum were announced:
