It aims at disseminationg knowledge and discussion of modern and contemporary art beyond the regions that are most heavily represented in the MoMA collections (i. e., Western Europe, North America, and Latin America). On 22-23 February 2011 the third seminar of the project was held in MoMA, with the title Multiple Modernities through the Lens of International Cubism. Between invited guests to give papers as the basis for discussion was also Vojtěch Lahoda of the Institute of Art History of the ASCR. and Vojtěch Lahoda.

Czech Scientists have received a four year research project (2011-2014), enabling them to continue in their research activities focused on slope stability and phenomena of the glacial lakes outburst flood in the majestic Cordillera Blanca in Peru. Previous research as well as the new project is supported by Peruvian colleagues from Autoridad Nacional Del Agua, Unidad de Glaciologia y Recursos Hidricos, Huaraz. The project will study four topics: spatial and temporal occurrence of landslides; stability calculations of dangerous slopes; GLOF extent modeling; and multi hazard maps preparation. and Jan Klineš, Vít Vilímek, Miroslava Benešová a Petr Bouška.
