The Faculty of Materials Science and Technology of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (MTF STU), a founding member of the CEDEG metacluster, will present the superconducting train in the Technology Village during the Cluster Day in the Pilsen Region, taking place on 22 October 2025 at TechTower, Plzeň.

MTF STU provides top-level education and research with a focus on advanced materials, modern manufacturing technologies, automation, mechatronics, management, safety, and industrial environmental protection.

SUPERCONDUCTING TRAIN

The superconducting train vividly demonstrates the phenomenon of superconductivity and levitation. It responds to the need to present new technologies in an accessible and engaging way to the general public, students, and professionals.

The exhibit encourages interest in science, engineering, and the future of transport, thereby contributing to education, innovation, and the connection between industry and academia.

MTF STU is a founding member of the CEDEG cluster. It collaborates with other members in research and development projects, knowledge sharing, industrial innovation, digitalisation, and modernisation of production processes, as well as in the transfer of research results and new technologies into practice.

As part of linking education and practice, the faculty organises specialised excursions, internships, and trainee programmes for students in companies, lifelong learning programmes, and joint seminars, training sessions, and conferences.
