Through the Committee's evaluation, the Academy Council is provided a full report of the research effectiveness of Academy Institutes. and Petr Ráb.
The tenth in a series of successful workshops dedicated to high energy astrophysics and supporting ground-based experiments (e.g., robotic telescopes) was held in Karlovy Vary on April 22-25. Originally, the IBWS (INTEGRAL/BART) workshops focused on the work of the High Energy Astrophysics Group at the Astronomical Institute of the ASCR and relevant international collaborators from the field, with extensive student participation. The workshops now promote regional collaboration in high-energy astrophysics emphasizing interface between satellite projects and ground-based experiments (also in robotic telescopes). and Martin Blažek.
Je tomu již 12 let, co se ze skromného setkání studentů z Astronomického ústavu AV ČR v Ondřejově stala tradiční konference s mezinárodní účastí. INTEGRAL & BART Workshop (IBWS 2015) se zpočátku jako hlavním tématem zabýval pozorováním gamma záblesků vesmírnou družicí Evropské kosmické agentury INTEGRAL, jejichž optické protějšky se snažil na Zemi detekovat robotický dalekohled BART. Zaměření se v astronomii ukázalo jako aktuální, a tak letos v Karlových Varech prezentovalo své příspěvky na 40 inženýrů, vědců a studentů z České republiky, Německa, Itálie, Maďarska a Španělska. and Martin Blažek.
The XXVIII International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases (ICPIG), a traditional conference with a remarkably long history, took place on 15 to 20 July 2007 in Prague. It explored not only the fundamentals of all kinds of plasmas and disarges, but also many applications such as plasma semiconductor processing, surface treatment and thin film technology, light sources and gaseous lasers, environmental protection and pollution control, sterilization and tissue engineering. and Milan Šimek.
The purpose of the workshop, which took place in 8-15 June 2008, was to train scientists to manage and exploit large EST datasets as well as compare whole genome sequences, with the aim of faciliting the application of genomic technologies to ticks and tickbornepathogens. The course provided an overview of the mehods used to sequence, assemble, and annotate tick borne disease related genomes and EST datasets. and Libor Grubhoffer.
IMI is a unique Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the pharmaceutical industry, represented by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), and the European Communities represented by the European Commission. The First Call of the IMI Joint Undertaking was launched by European Commissioner for Science and Research Janez Potočnik and EFPIA President Arthur Higgins on April 30. and Táňa Perglová.
CEFRES Platform and its new premises within the Czech Academy of Sciences were inaugurated on October 7-8, 2015. In 2015, theCAS built a brand newlibrary in order to hostCEFRES’smore than 6,000 volumes alongwith its teamand Prague’s Francophone readers. The new library was inaugurated during a ceremony in the presence of French Ambassador Jean-Pierre Asvazadourian, President of CAS Jiří Drahoš and Rector of Charles University Tomáš Zima. CEFRES (French Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences) was founded in Prague in 1991 with the aim to restart scientific exchanges between France and Central Europe as the latter underwent major changes after the fall of communism. One of CEFRES’s tasks since then has been to build up a network of research teams between France, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. and Luděk Svoboda.
