15 years ago a small group of the Czech scientists visited the meeting of European plant exophysiologists in Viterbo starting a new EU projects on elevated CO2 effects. Because of personal involvement of prof. Paul Jarvis, the Czech group was incorporated into this type of European ecophysiological research. On the occasion of the 15th anniversary was prepared a conference covering the topics from stress physiology and elevated CO2 effects from leaves to ecosystems up to impact of climate change on ecosystems. Key findings in regulatory and stress physiology, plant-to-plant interactions and responses to changing environment with emphases on single and/or combined effects of CO2, water and temperature were presented. and Michal Marek.
The 5th European Conference on Neutron Scattering was held in Prague in July 17-22, 2011. It was organized on behalf on the European Neutron Scattering Association (ENSA) by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague and the Nuclear Physics Institute of the ASCR. Neutron scattering brought together scientists from many disciplines. In the tradition of ECNS conferences, all aspects of the technique and the application of neutron scattering were discussed. and Petr Lukáš, Vladimír Sechovský.
Více než čtyřicetiletá historie mezivládního programu na koordinaci spolupráce v oblasti vědy a technologií (European Cooperation in Science and Technology - COST) vytrvale přispívá k rozvoji evropského vědeckého a inovačního potenciálu a posiluje investice do výzkumu. Program, který se orientuje na multidisciplinární výzkum, hraje významnou roli při vytváření Evropského výzkumného prostoru - ERA. and Kateřina Slavíková.
The European Network for Housing Research organized a conference in Prague June 28-July 1. This meeting of experts focused on the role and “power” of housing and mortgage markets, which is rapidly changing, especially by increasing the influence these markets have on the wider economy and sustainable development of many societies. and Tomáš Kostelecký.
