High school students tried what it is like to study at the faculty for three days

Last week, about 20 students from all corners of the Czech Republic had the chance to try what it feels like to study at the Faculty of Information Technology thanks to the MiniErasmus programme. This programme makes it possible for high school students to experience the life of college students for three days. At FIT, the participants had the opportunity to attend a practical seminar led by Viktor Konupčík, a FIT student, several lectures for first- and second-year students and even one class from the Master's programme, to look around the campus, chat with the faculty students and to enjoy a music evening at U Kachničky.

FIT organizes clothes collection. Series of lectures and a library box are also in the making

Clothing you do not want to wear anymore but that can still be used will be collected from this Tuesday at FIT in room Q222. The clothes will be collected as a part of the Giving Tuesday initiative until 10 December. "We donate the clothes to people in need. We co-operate with the day-care centre of Local Charity in Žďár nad Sázavou that takes care of persons with mental and multiple disabilities," said Radka Báčová from the FIT's Project Department.

The department is planning to organise other events in the future, such as grant-funded consultations for students and researchers, series of lectures, internships for student or installation of a library box. "We welcome all those who have their own ideas on how to contribute to the social responsibility of Czech research, or would like to participate in it and do something for themselves, for their university and society," Radka Báčová added. Those interested in co-operation can contact her by e-mail at bacova@fit.vutbr.cz.

FIT presented its work on Interpol biometrics

Methods of forensic work with fingerprints and face images created by the STRaDe research group in co-operation with the police of the South Moravian Region caught the attention of INTERPOL. Martin Drahanský, who is leading the group focusing on research and development of security technologies at FIT, presented these methods at the INTERPOL General Secretariat in Lyon. "Practical examples were based mainly on the work of Ondřej Kanich and Tomáš Goldmann. Both presentations had a wonderful response from the audience and we managed to establish contacts with a number of foreign police departments and forensic laboratories," said Martin Drahanský.

The presentation contest 8 of BUT has found its two winners. A shared first place was awarded by the jury to Magdaléna Buzová, a student of the Faculty of Architecture, and to Son Hai Nguyen, a student of the Faculty of Information Technology. The FIT student managed to explain the intriguing topic of his thesis "Insertion of 2D Graphics into a Scene Captured by a Stationary Camera" to general public through an attractive presentation sparkled up by his charm and humour. His work attracted some attention earlier this year at the student conference Excel@FIT where he received praise from the jury, partners and the public.

Lukáš Holík and Petr Janků awarded for the best paper

An article titled "Chain-Free String Constraints" and its authors Lukáš Holík and Petr Janků from the VeriFIT research group won a prestigious Best Paper Award at the ATVA'2019 conference in Taipei. Their contribution introduces an algorithm for the solution of the satisfiability problem for string constraints that can be used, for example, to verify programmes manipulating the strings, such as web applications, or to verify the absence of certain kinds of security vulnerabilities, such as the Cross Site Scripting.
