Academic Materials Research Laboratory of Painted Artworks (ALMA) is a joint workplace of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (AFA) and the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (IIC ASCR). This is a scientific laboratory focused on the Czech cultural heritage. Combining the branches of the natural sciences, art and the history of art, ALMA seeks to deepen the knowledge of painting materials and techniques. The knowledge acquired is integrated into a complete evaluation of painted art works by origin, age, and authenticity. The ALMA Laboratory develops instrumental materials analysis methods and interprets the results in the context of art history and history of materials technology. and Silvie Švarcová, David Hradil.
The Association for Youth, Science and Technology is a non-governmental, non-profit organization of children and youth. AMAVET brings together 3500 registered active members working in various scientific disciplines. AMAVET plays an important role in conjuction with schools and school institutions, in forming the mindset of young people through informal education, which is becoming a valuable part of a whole life education. The Committee of AMAVET has chosen the ten best student projects on May 6-7, 2008 at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. and Gabriela Adámková.
Zůstává-li dnes architekt Antonín Balšánek v širším povědomí, pak jen jako spoluautor pražského Obecního domu. Byl ovšem také významným urbanistou a teoretikem. Příznačně pro přelom století přechází jeho tvorba od pozdní novorenesance a novobaroka k secesnímu tvarosloví. and Jan Boháček.
The Czech BIORAF project employs the techniques of green chemistry for biomass utilization to high added-value products and energy sources. Refining it results in food supplements, fodders and fertilizers, new-generation biofuels and energy from the biomass of microbial, plant or animal origin. Biorefining is a unique approach for a new sustainable substitution of fossil fuels minimizing an adverse effect on the environment while exploiting the whole volume of biomass. and Pavel Topka.
