Featured in this issue is the Final Report of an international audit critical of the system of assessment and funding of science and research in the Czech Republic. While concluding that change is imperative, the auditors praised the increasing quality of Czech scientific work. The Final Report was presented by the Ministry of the Education, Youth and Sport on October 13, 2011. The auditors primarily deplored the low state support and minimal funding of science by the industrial sector. They recommend abandoning the current methodology of research and development results assessment and the questionable mechanical calculation of the level of funding of individual institutions based on it. The Education Ministry's representatives affirmed that the Czech Republic will launch a project of a new, more efficient funding of science. The audit of the Czech research system was carried out by the international team during 2010-2011 with support from the Technology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of the ASCR. and Jiří Rákosník.
