History

In the aftermath of the World War II, chemical factories in the city asked for the establishment of a specialised university in their vicinity. The university was started under the name of Vysoká škola chemická in 1950, and renamed to Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická in 1954. Since 1990, new faculties have been added, and in 1994 the institution was renamed to University of Pardubice.
