The Association of European Institutions of Highest Education (EUA) met 7-8 February 2008 to discuss ways to expand its current funidng project. The project aims to collect examples on good practice in cost accounting with specific emphasis on full cost development. To access key data EUA has selected a group of European universitites and is comparing their income and expenditure flows, accounting systems, legal frameworks and progress towards full cost accounting. The data reflects a huge diversity of public funding mechanisms across Europe. and Lenka Lepičová.

"Budoucnost ukáže, jak současná generace uplatnila své schopnosti a podřídila své bezprostřední zájmy tomu, aby vedle zabezpečení svých vlastních životních potřeb připravila příští generaci stůl k hostině vzdělanosti tak, aby se budoucí historik mohl vyslovit o současné zakládající obcí Slezské univerzity a všech jejích příznivcích s uznáním o jejich myšlení a skuctích." and Rudolf Žáček.
The Institute of Ethnology of the Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, Prague
The institute responded to the political and social changes in 1990s. It follows the modern European and world directions in research activities. Several foreign lecturers (Yale, the Northern Arizona University, the University o Basel) as well as the prominent specialists from the Academy of Sciences and the Náprstek Museum started to participate in the teaching programme. - The aim of the new curriculum is the theoretical and practical preparation for the master´s (in future also bachelor´s). The students gain knowledge of the cultural areas and the ability to work and act in various ethnic and cultural environments. The study consists of two cycles, the second of which is specialized. - The institute is devided into three seminars (general ethnology, European and Czech ethnology, and folklore studies). - Talented students can take part in research felowships abroad. The graduates gain ground as scienific and specialized researchers, in cultural facilities, museums, state bureaucracy, media and in humanity organizations. In present, the institute has for about 150 students, 20 new students are accepted every year. Besides the internal study, combined study is organized in some years.The post-graduate study includes several special courses, the final examination and the viva voce. Post-graduates are methodically tead by supervisors. - The research activities are aimed mainly at the ethnic and athno-cultural problems in Czech lands and in Europe. The institute cooperates with several European institutions. It is also specialized in the Hispanic and American studies, as well theoretical and trans-cultural studies. - The institute publishes the collections of papers Studia Ethnographica. - The director of the institute is doc. František Vrhel, CSc., The Institute of European Ethnography and Ethnology, the Philosophical Faculty of Masaryk University, Brno
Seminář pro etnologii a etnografii/Seminar of Ethnography and Ethnology at the Philosophical Faculty of Masaryk University was founded by Professor A. Václavík (1891-1951) in 1946. The formerly independent department changed as well as its name. Since 1964 it was Katedra etnografie a folkloristiky/The Department of Ethnography and Folklore Studies. After 1968 it was a part of historical departments and on 1.1.1991 it regained independence. Now it is called Ústav evropské etnologie/The Institute of European Ethnology. The institute provides five-year MA stude programme with combination of a second subject. There is also a three-year internal and five-year external Ph.D. study programme. The lectures and seminars are complemented by other educative activities. Every year since 1992 has been arranging visits to the regions of the Czech Republic or countries mostly of southern or western Europe. Some of these travels were thematic, e.g. Rhetoromans´ foosteps, Semana santa in Spain, Almatrieb in Alps. All these travels are documented on the videotape and slides, so that this material can be used for teaching purposes later. The departmental library serves for studens as well for teachers. It contains more than 13,000 volumes of the basic ethnographical literature. The outcomes of the student and teacher research can be found in the departmental archives. The scholars of he department took part in the Národopisná encyklopedie Čech, Moravy a Slezska/ Ethnographic Encyclopaedia of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. The second important work is Vlastivěda moravská/The History and Geography of Moravia, volume 10 Lidová kultura na Moravě/The Folk Culture in Moravia.(2000). The head of the department is Professor PhDr. Richard Jeřábek, DrSc., The Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of the Faculty of Humanities, Plzeň
The department belongs to the newest university departments in the Czech Republic. It originally worked as a part of the Centre of Humanities of the Faculty of Law of the West-Bohemian University. Since 1997 it is a part of the Faculty of Humanities. - This pedagogical and research institution organizes a three-years bachelor course and a continuing two-year master course. The curriculum is based on the credit system and it is complementary with the offer of other university programmes. A part of the department is formed by the seminar of physical anthropology and of the anthropology of the Near East. Social anthropology is understood as a bio-social discipline, inspired especially by the Anglo-American approach. The department cooperates with several scientific institutions both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The research activities are aimed at the problems of rural and urban communities, multiculturalism, applied social anthropology, museum studies, and some topics of religious studies and symbolical anthropology. - The department director is RNDr. Ivo Budil, Ph.D., and Anglické abstrakty s šiframi (št) - abstrakt 1 a 3 a (lv) - abstrakt 2 jsou uvedeny na str. 193-195.
Rokem 1945 začíná období velkých přeměn struktur vědy a vysokoškolského vzdělávání v Československu. Obnovuje se provoz na českých a slovenských vysokých školách, naopak německé vysoké školství v Československu je zcela zrušeno. Výrazně se za podpory regionálních politických elit rozšiřuje síť vysokých škol nebo alespoň jejich fakult i mimo tradiční Prahu a Brno. Zároveň se začíná diskutovat o nové úloze České akademie věd a umění (ČAVU), respektive o zcela novém uspořádání mimouniverzitní vědy a vědeckých společností. V období před svoláním Prozatímního národního shromáždění (první schůze 28. října 1945) měl i v oblasti vědní a vysokoškolské infrastruktury poměrně rozsáhlé pravomoci prezident republiky Edvard Beneš, který vydával tzv. prezidentské dekrety s účinností zákonů (byť podléhaly tzv. ratihabici, tedy zpětnému schválení, parlamentem po jeho svolání). K informaci prezidenta sloužil důvěrný materiál o stavu české vědy v ČAVU a na vysokých školách zachycující stav k 10. září 1945, který připravil kulturní rada prezidentské kanceláře a prezidentův osobní tajemník Mojmír Vaněk (1911-1992), působící v letech 1937-1945 jako prezidiální tajemník ČAVU. Právě tato zpráva je zde editována. M. Vaněk ji rozdělil na dvě části - první nazvaná vědecké ústavy se koncentruje na situaci v ČAVU, kterou považoval za instituci, kolem níž se měla soustředit všechna mimouniverzitní badatelská pracoviště. Stávající ČAVU ovšem kritizoval za nízkou aktivitu ve vědní oblasti i za výrazný pragocentrismus a faktické úzké provázání s Univerzitou Karlovou v Praze. V oblasti vysokých škol poté se soustředil na aktuální otázku zřizování nových vysokých škol a na problém akutního nedostatku vědeckého dorostu i na sociální problematiku zabezpečení přednášejících na vysokých školách. Materiál nabízí zajímavé svědectví o stavu české vědy v jakémsi bodu nula, kdy do její struktury ještě nedopadly bouřlivé změny následujících let. Již od října 1945 se situace kvůli novým dekretům prezidenta republiky a následně novým zákonům začala rapidně měnit., The year 1945 saw the beginning of a period of great transformations of the structures of science and university education in Czechoslovakia. Czech and Slovak universities began to resume their operations while German university education in Czechoslovakia was completely abolished. The network of universities or at least their departments was greatly expanded with support from regional political elites outside Prague and Brno. Debates were started about a new role for the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (CASA), and completely new organisation of non-university science and scientific societies. In the period before the Provisional National Assembly was convened (first sitting on 28.10.1945) President of the Republic Edvard Beneš had considerable powers in respect of the scientific and university infrastructure, and issued presidential decrees with the effect of laws (though they were subject to ratihabitio, which is ratification by Parliament after its convention). The president was informed by a confidential report on the state of Czech science at CASA and at universities summarising the situation as of 10 September 1945 drafted by cultural counsellor and the president’s private secretary Mojmír Vaněk (1911-1992), working in 1937-1945 as the president’s secretary to CASA. This report is edited here. Mojmír Vaněk divided it into two parts: the first, titled scientific institutes, focuses on the situation at CASA, which he regarded as an institution around which all non-university academic institutions were to concentrate. He levelled criticism at CASA for a lack of activity in the field of science as well as significant pragocentrism and its close connection with Charles University in Prague. In the field of higher education he focused on the pressing problem of the establishment of new universities and acute shortage of junior scientific and lecturers’ social security issues at universities. The document is an eloquent testimony to the state of Czech science in a sort of ground zero, where its structure had not been affected by the momentous changes in the following years. As early as October 1945 the situation began to change rapidly as a result of new decrees issued by the president and followed by new laws.
