Řecko se k 1. lednu 2014 již popáté od roku 1981, kdy přistoupilo k tehdejšímu Evropskému hospodářskému společenství, ujalo předsednictví v Radě Evropské unie. Předsednictví se ponese v duchu úsporných opatření v návaznosti na recesi, ve které se tento středomořský stát již šest let nachází. Náklady nemají překročit 50 milionů eur, což mj. znamená, že se využijí pouze stávající lidské zdroje, nebudou se rozdávat propagační předměty s logem předsednictví ani hradit ubytování ministrům na neformálních zasedáních v zemi. Při přípravách muselo Řecko zohlednit, že se v květnu 2014 uskuteční volby do Evropského parlamentu, a tudíž bude legislativní proces na několik měsíců pozastaven. and Anna Vosečková.
The study compiled as a part of EU prject ProAct ("Practical Regional Research and Innovation Policy in Action - the Efficient Tools for Regional Catching-up in New Member States" (Regions of Knowledge - FP6). The regional practices of innovation policy in eight EU member states are presented in case studies, elaborated for one region in each country with South Moravia representing the Czech Republic. South Moravian innovation policy is analyzed in three fundamental dimensions: strategy formation, policy deployment, and practices at the programme level. These are the constituent elements of the process that was defined by the ProAct consortium as so called "ProAct policy learning cycle". THe benchmark methodology (The ProAct Benchmarking Framework) was applied in the case studies to explore good pracices in regional innovation and research policy. In the study, the role of South Moravian Innovation Centre (JIC - Jihomoravské innovační centrum) is highlighted., Jiří Loudín, Adolf Filáček, Michal Kostka, Kateřina Tydláčková., and Obsahuje seznam literatury.

This article assesses efforts to develop "open innovation". First, open innovation is put in the framework of knowledge society. It is shown that the term open innovation refers tu such different cases that it is better to assess them separately. Chesbrough´s "open innovation", the "lead user" conception, the idea of "commons-based-peer-production" and "interactive value production" is shortly explored. "Incertitude" is overviewed as basic background that urges societal praxis to turn to open innovation. At the end the article, referring to an expert material worked out for the EC DG Research, called with abbreviation TEKSS, turns interest to extending open innovation by integrating concerned groups as innovation partners as engagement, i.e. as partners though the whole innovation process., Imre Hronzsky, Ágnes Fésüs., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
8th INTEGRAL/BART Workshop was organised by the Astronomical Institute of the ASCR at Karlovy Vary on April 26-29, 2011. The workshop focused on relevant international collaborations in the field of high-energy astrophysics with emphasis on satellite projects and ground-based experiments. and Martin Blažek.
The International Workshop on Astronomical X-Ray Optics took place in Prague December 6-12,2009. Its goal was to present and to discuss recent and forthcoming technologies for future X-ray astronomy missions, with emphasis on IXO of ESA/NASA/JAXA. These missions require development of mostly innovative techno logies, and invited speakers discussed the possibilities, results obtained so far, and new ideas in detail. and Martin Blažek.
