Extension of the validity of licenses
From 15 September 2025, we have switched exclusively to digital renewal of ITIC and ALIVE Employee cards.
For discount providers, the decisive factor is always the record in the national database of cardholders. Each cardholder can download the Alive App free of charge (App Store, Google Play), activate their profile, and use it as a digital card – especially outside the university.
At the university, employees will continue to use their plastic card. If an employee has their card renewed at the Personnel Department, the Personnel Officer can attach a validation sticker/label to the card as confirmation of its validity.
The current list of discounts and benefits associated with the ITIC card in the Czech Republic and abroad are available at www.isic.cz.
The lifespan of all cards is 6 years from the date of issue, after which the employee has the right to request a replacement at the expense of the employer.
In the case of loss or theft of the card, contact your Personnel Officer immediately.
