The Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics is focused on research connected with both natural rocks and rock environment on the Earth´s crust, as well as with artificially produced geomaterials, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. and Zuzana Weishauptová.
Člověk trpí méněcenností ve vztahu k mocným zvířatům, která ho předstihují silou a rychlostí. Dokladem toho je i paleolitická soška, na které je zobrazena lví hlava s lidským tělem. Pokrok představují egyptské sfingy, kde z obrazu člověka zůstává alespoň hlava, sídlo jeho svébytnosti. Nejrůznější zvířecí motivy, jako chiméry, se podařilo pomíchat až Řekům. Tak jako v Evropě kraloval lev a orel, na Dálném východě - zvláště v posledním století - nastoupil tygr coby představitel útočnosti a vítězství. Příkladem uveďme japonského císařského generála, který pronikl Malajskem, a byl proto vzýván jako malajský tygr, než bídně zhynul při americké invazi na jednom z tichomořských atolů. and Jan Svoboda.
Representatives of the Academy of Science of Czech Republic and Charles University have subscribed to the Founding Contract of the Biotechnological and Biomedical Center (BIOCEV) that will be situated in the vicinity of Vestec. and Luděk Svoboda.
The Biotechnology and Biomedicine Center of the Academy of Sciences of CR and Charles University in Vestec is a joint project of six institutes of the ASCR (Institutes of Molecular Genetics, of Biotechnology, Microbiology, Physiology, Experimental Medicine, and of Macromolecular Chemistry) and two faculties of Charles University in Prague (Faculty of Science and 1st Faculty of Medicine). The Research programme is aimed at the study of cellular mechanisms at the molecular level, research and development of novel therapeutic strategies, early diagnostics, biologically active agents including chemotherapeutics, protein engineering and other technologies with an impact on the quality of life, development of a knowledge economy and the competitive capacity of the Czech Republic. and Ivana Sýkorová.
The text introduces the Council for European Integration (REI in Czech), whose main task is supporting participation of ASCR institutes and their research teams in European Framework Programmes. and Alena Štiková.
The aim of the Center is to focus on selected branches of basic research in developmental biology, biocompatible polymer synthesis, neuroscience and transplant surgery into one organic whole. This scan serve as an experimental foundation for cell therapy and tissue repair research on a level qualitatively comparable to research in the developed countries of the EU and the USA. and Eva Syková.
Excellence in European Research and Science was celebrated in Brussels on 12 March 2008 during the European Science Awards ceremony. With the launch of the new framework program, it has been decided to give separate indentities to the prizes that are awarded in the areas of excellence in collaborative research and excellence in science communication. Both prizes will continue and will now be awarded but at a new event: The European Science Awards. and Anna Vosečková.
CZELO (Czech Liaison Office for Development and Research), the Technology Center AS CR and the Czech Biotechnology Association Biotrin organized a one-day seminar entitled Czech Republic - Your Partner in Agrobiotechnology Research in Brussels on November 22. This seminar brought an overview of selected biotechnology activities and food biotechnology sector in the Czech Republic. and [Táňa Perglová].
