Dean Karel Šuhajda presented certificates to researchers and academic staff who achieved outstanding results in five categories of research outputs supported by the Faculty's Excellence Fund. The awards ceremony took place during a regular meeting of the Scientific Board of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Brno University of Technology (FCE BUT).

The Excellence Fund aims to provide long-term support and recognition for outstanding research and creative activities, internationally recognised publication achievements, and contributions to applied research and technology transfer.

The evaluation is based on the national criteria established by the M17+ Methodology and, more recently, the M25+ Methodology, which take into account the quality, originality, and societal or technological impact of research results.
