He was the first vice-dean of studies of the newly established faculty and was instrumental in starting the whole educational process.

Prof. Ing. Pavel Tvrdík, CSc., was the first dean of the newly established faculty and was responsible for its promotion, establishment and setting up all the necessary processes for its functioning. During his eight years at its head, he built a full-fledged faculty with quality teaching, science and good interpersonal relations.

Ing. Miroslav Balík, Ph.D., was a founding member of FIT. From the beginning, he was responsible for the combined bachelor's studies and later took on the demanding position of Vice Dean for Studies for several years. He gradually built a stable administrative team in the Study Department and developed several key internal regulations for implementing the study programmes. He also contributed to the development of FIT's educational activities and was a reliable, hardworking, and creative member of the faculty leadership throughout his tenure.

Doc. Ing. Jiří Douša, CSc., was a founding member of FIT and the Department of Digital Design. He introduced the subject "Simulation" and the teaching of VHDL, which was the first systematic teaching of a language for hardware description and thus for a modern way of design and verification of digital circuits. He still passes on his rich experience to FIT students.

Prof. Ing. Václav Havlíček, CSc., as Rector, supported the initiative to establish a new Faculty of Informatics from the beginning and devoted much time and personal commitment to the project.

Doc. Ing. Alois Pluháček, CSc., was a founding member of FIT and created several of his own processors and their simulators used in teaching. He was the sponsor and creator of many hardware courses. He introduced some Czech terms, such as "hidden memory" or "additive code".

Libuše Pochová helped to build the agenda of the Faculty's Study Department. Thanks to her diligence, consistency, and principle, this primary and key agenda of the faculty's activities was successfully launched without complications. Later, she built the thesis agenda with similar precision in collaboration with the administration and departments.

Ing. Jiří Škvor has been in charge of all FIT's operational and infrastructural agenda since the beginning, even during its most turbulent times of development and change. He was responsible for the project preparation for the reconstruction of the new Masaryk Dormitory and Building A, the construction of the New CTU Building, and coordination with the companies implementing these investment projects.

Thanks to her, the financial closures and audits were and are being carried out flawlessly.
