The main agenda item of this meeting was discussion the report of the Steering Committee of the Evaluation of Academy Institutes. Through the Committee's evaluation, the Academy Council is provided a full report of the research effectiveness of Academy Institutes. and Petr Ráb.
Příspěvek se snaží ukázat, jaký dopad mělo poznávání přírody Nového světa na utváření specifických podob raně novověké vědecké kooperace a vědy obecně. Záměrem textu je prezentovat originální metody (expedice, dotazníky) a formy vědění (historiae naturalis, botanické katalogy), které v souvislosti s kooperativním poznáváním Nového světa především ve Španělsku vznikaly a jež v soudobé Evropě neměly obdobu. Studie tak chce poukázat na význam, který mělo poznávání Nového světa Španěly v procesu tzv. vědecké revoluce, resp. proměny vědecké praxe i teoretických epistemologických schémat., This article attempts to show which effect and consequences the exploring of the New World nature on the formation of specific forms of early modern scientific cooperation and science in general had. The aim of the text is to present original methods (scientific expedition, questionnaires) and forms of knowledge (Historiae naturalis, botanical catalogs), which in the context of cooperative discovering the New World originated particularly in Spain and which were unprecedented in Contemporary Europe. Thus the study wants to point out the role of exploring of the New World by Spaniards in the process of so-called scientific revolution, respectively the changes in scientific practice and theoretical epistemological schemes., and Jana Černá.
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.
