JCMM - support for the gifted

JCMM also operates several Czech centres abroad with the aim of attracting the most talented foreign students to Brno universities. The organisation also provides long-term career guidance, online service for parents and pupils when choosing a school, and a number of other services generally motivated by efforts to improve the environment in the field of care and development of the potential of the population of South Moravia. Activities of the JCMM are also implemented at an early age of children - both in kindergartens, and at the first stage of primary school as part of technical education.

The members of the JCMM association are the South Moravian Region, Masaryk University, Brno University of Technology, Mendel University in Brno and the University of Veterinary, and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno. JCMM is a member of the European Council for High Ability (ECHA) and the EURAXESS network in the Czech Republic. Its activities are part of the Regional Innovation Strategy of the South Moravian Region.
