Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) is a research organization focused on studying the fundamental principles of mechanics—how forces and motion work—and applying them to solve real-world engineering problems. It combines theoretical work, which involves developing models and understanding physical laws, with applied research that addresses practical challenges in fields like aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering. Located at the Czech Technical University in Prague, ITAM aims to advance knowledge, develop new technologies, and support innovation through scientific inquiry and collaborative projects across various engineering disciplines.
