What Elixír do škol does

Elixír do škol, z.ú. (registered institute) is a Czech non-profit professional learning network founded in 2013 and headquartered in Prague 4. The organization serves teachers of physics, chemistry, and digital technologies across primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic, operating through a distributed network of more than 20 regional centers located in schools and universities in cities including Prague, Brno, Plzeň, Ostrava, Olomouc, Hradec Králové, and Liberec. Each center runs collegial workshops, experiment-sharing sessions, and peer-led training, supplemented by specialized programs (Malá věda for kindergarten and primary teachers, Chemický elixír for chemistry teachers, DIGI centra for digital technologies) and a bi-monthly Online centrum for remote participants.

The platform layer consists of an online "Národní galerie Elixíru" (National Gallery) for sharing student work launched in May 2020, and the "Informační systém Elixíru" registration and meeting management system deployed on the Soopio platform since school year 2024/2025. The organization convenes the annual Konference Elixíru (10th edition in 2026 at the University of Hradec Králové), hands-on Dílny workshops, expert Přednášky lectures, and a Fórum inspirace partner expo featuring 10-30+ STEM industry and academic partners.

Elixír do škol generates no commercial revenue from teachers, who access services free of charge. Funding flows from grant programs (including EU OP VVV iKAP), institutional partnerships (notably Charles University via a July 2024 Memorandum of Cooperation and the ESA-ESERO CZ consortium joined in May 2026), corporate sponsors (ČEZ, Prusa Research, Thermo Fisher Scientific, ALBI, T-Mobile Magenta Experience Center), and Czech education foundations (Nadace České spořitelny, Nadace O2, Nadace ORLEN Unipetrol). The organization operates with a lean paid headcount of roughly 10 staff, supplemented by regional center leaders and a volunteer teacher community.
