The second sport festival of Mongolian youth and students’ in European counties successfully held in
Eight teams from
A natural metropolis of southeast Moravia, a statutory city, university seat and center of the
newly created Zlin Region - all this is today-s Zlin. The city became world famous at the beginning of the 20th century thanks to Bata shoe factories, which later carried the name Svit.
It-s also famous for its unique functionalist architecture and the dynamic rate of growth over the past ten years.
The character of Zlin has been formed since the beginning of the 1990s - the city of entrepreneurs. After the -Velvet Revolution- a number of companies gained a crucial position within the framework of Czech industry, and their representatives began to successfully do business on foreign markets, which hadn-t been previously accessible.
Zlin built its seat and surroundings towards machine production, rubber and plastics industry and several dozens of shoe manufacturers. Zlin-s industrial production was naturally concentrated around the extensive industrial zone of the former Bata factories.
In 2001 a new industrial zone emerged on the east side of the city, which is being filled by both domestic and foreign investors involved in the development and production of household appliances, automobile industry components, plastics manufacture, metal machining and the food industry.
Zlin remains open to new investment offers and interest by new entrepreneurs that will find both business partners and a qualified work force, important for development and production.
Zlin-s Tomáš Baťa University trains managers and specialists mainly in technological and economic fields. The specific training offered by high schools includes construction, machining, chemistry, electrical technology and economics. Zlin is the seat of traditional development and research institutes and workplaces of which many have become famous throughout the world.

Tomas Bata University in Zlín (TBU) is a top-rated educational and research institution. It is progressive, it is open to people, places and ideas, and it gives special importance to research, development and business liaison. With its 11,000 students it belongs to medium-sized Czech universities.
At the present time the University is headed by Prof. Ing. Ignác Hoza, CSc., who was appointed to the post of TBU Rector on 12 May 2007 by Czech President Václav Klaus. The inauguration ceremony was held on 21 June 2007.
The University was constituted as of 1 January 2001 after its Establishment Act was signed by President Václav Havel on 14 November 2000. Tomas Bata University, headed by its first Rector, Prof. Ing. Petr Sáha, CSc., achieved rapid development during the first years of its existence (in 2001-7).
Higher education in Zlín has a long tradition. The Faculty of Technology has been here since 1969, first as part of VUT Brno, and it has educated hundreds of specialists, particularly for the rubber and plastics industries.
The University was named after the ingenious entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa (1876-1932), who initiated the development of the shoe industry in Zlín and won worldwide fame. His son, the Canadian entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa Jr. (b.1914), heads the University Board of Governors.
TBU has managed to establish a significant position in the Zlín Region, not only as a provider of the highest level of education, but also as an institution that contributes significantly to the development of the region and supports the employment in the region.
The University's next aim is to become an internationally recognized institution and rank among the best in the world at least in a few disciplines. TBU is a bilingual university nowadays as English has become equal in value and importance to Czech. Therefore, particular emphasis is placed on teaching English to both students and staff. There are more and more degree programmes held in English. All forms of international cooperation are intensely supported: student exchanges, lectures, educational stays for teachers, cooperation in R&D projects, etc.
To assess the progress in studies, the ECTS standard is used for all TBU degree programmes. The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) was developed by the EU Commission to ensure the compatibility and agreement in the recognition of qualifications at higher education institutions within the European Union. This enables students to spend part of their studies at other higher education institutions, especially those abroad. These study periods are recognized as regular parts of their studies when they return.
Apart from their degree certificate, TBU graduates also receive the Diploma Supplement in English, which is recognized throughout Europe and which improves their position in the European labour market.
In August 2006 TBU was awarded the Diploma Supplement Label by the European Commission, which raised the University's prestige and reputation among European HEI.
