Research

This section should explain that the Czech Microorganism Collection (CCM) is not just about collecting cultures and providing services, but also offers opportunities for development and collaboration on projects that are directly applied in real-world settings—which could attract potential students.

Also mention that the CCM collaborates with the Department of Microbiology and other departments.

You might include examples of some projects, open positions, or research topics for doctoral students.
