History
In the aftermath of the World War II, chemical factories in the city asked for the establishment of a specialised university in their vicinity. The university was started under the name of {{lang|cs|Vysoká škola chemická}} (Chemical Institute) in 1950, and renamed to {{lang|cs|Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická}} (Institute of Chemical Technology) in 1954. Since 1990, new faculties have been added, and in 1994 the institution was renamed to University of Pardubice.
