Summary/Abstract: Czech public higher education has seen significant changes in both its structure and funding over the past two decades. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the development of financing of public higher education in the Czech Republic between 2010 and 2017. Publicly available data of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports were applied for the analysis. Three financial sources were taken into consideration - budget headings I to IV, institutional support for the long-term conceptual development of the research organization and support for specific research. European resources were excluded from the analysis. The data show that although the financial support increased slightly in the observed period, the individual components developed differently. The biggest drop was seen in funding under heading I, while the large increase was typical for institutional support. Another finding is a different impact on individual public higher education institutions, when the largest universities included in segment IV reached the largest increase.
