At the time of its establishment, the FCT was the largest faculty of the university and had 12 departments and 2 laboratories. So far, 10 deans took their turn in managing it. Today FCT comprises 11 departments and 1 laboratory. Although originally focused solely on chemical technology, the FCT has expanded also to the research and teaching of materials, pharmaceuticals, conservation-restoration of arts and crafts, and chemical and biochemical informatics. Today, the FCT of the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague represents a modern higher education and research institution, respected at home and abroad.
