Reserve an Individual Study Carrel

An individual study carrel is ideal for concentrated study. You can reserve a carrel for a whole semester and keep your personal research materials there. Each carrel is equipped with electrical outlets and Wi-Fi.

The reservation of Individual Study Carrels for Summer (July 9 - September 15, 2018) for 600 CZK has begun. To apply please use the registration form.

Who can reserve a carrel?

Registered patrons who are also:

Students/graduate students
Professors
Researchers from Czech universities

You also need to belong to certain registered patron groups (A, AV, AC, B, BV, BC, C, CV, CC, E, EV, EC, F, FV, FC or AU). If you don't know your group, check it using the Access & Privileges tool. Please note you will probably not be able to rent a carrel if you don't have temporary or permanent Czech residence.

For how long?

Usually for one semester.
If you are physically disabled, you can reserve one of two dedicated carrels on a hourly or daily basis. To rent one, visit the floor 1 or 2 service desk.

When and where to apply for a carrel?
