The Ministry of Culture and Education authorised the establishment of a chemistry department at the C. K. Czech Technical College František Josef in Brno.

Opening of classes under the leadership of Dean Bohumil Kužma, professor of inorganic chemistry. Before that, it was necessary to adapt the premises in the building at 7 Falkensteinerova Street.

Jan Novák was appointed an extraordinary professor of analytical chemistry and Jiří Baborovský a full professor of theoretical and physical chemistry. They designed the course programme with Bohumil Kužma.

Three extraordinary professors appointed: Cyril Krauz for organic chemistry, Otakar Kallauner for the Institute of Chemical Technology I (large-scale production of inorganic compounds and manufacturing of silicates) and Bedřich Macků for technical physics.

The beginning of construction on the chemistry building at number 17 on today’s Žižkova Street.

World War I stifled the development of the department. Professors Krauz and Novák enlisted in the army.

Institutes of Chemical Technology II (metallurgy and metallography, fuels and lamp), III (fermentation industry, technical microscopy and commodity science, mycology of water and food) and IV (carbohydrates) were opened.

The chemistry building was opened for teaching technological subjects in the third and fourth years of study.

Institutes of Chemical Technology V (water, textile, tanning, glue and paper technologies) and VI (fats, waxes, tars, dyes, plastics) were opened. Separate specialised centres were established at some of the institutes for research on fermentation, fats, leather, sugars and silicates.

Closure of Czech universities by the Nazis.

Reactivation of the department. By 1948, Institutes of Chemical Technology VII (chemical constitution and properties of substances) and VIII (ceramics, brickmaking, explosives) were established.

Dissolution of the Department of Chemistry at the Dr Edvard Beneš Technical University in Brno and its transfer, including the building, to the Military Technical Academy.

Teaching of technical chemistry at The Military Technical Academy ends.

Re-establishment of the Department of Chemistry at BUT.

Opening of the FCH BUT on Purkyňova Street.

Establishment of the Materials Research Centre at BUT.
