Roli Akademie věd v České republice v oblasti základního výzkumu lze poměrně dobře zhodnotit. Na množství článků ve významných časopisech se podílí více než třetinou celkového počtu, do citačního ohlasu přispívá téměř polovinou; rovněž získané prostředky z GA ČR se pohybují mezi třetinou a polovinou rozdělované dotace (46 % v roce 2013). Lze říci, že se AV ČR výrazněji zaměřuje na systematický a dlouhodobý výzkum ve vybraných oborech, který je komplementární k výzkumu na vysokých školách - zde je však více svázán s výukou. and Tomáš Kruml, Josef Lazar.
We feature an article this month on a research expedition to Svalbard, an archipelago between the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Greenland Sea and Norwegian Sea. The first Czech expedition by the University of South Bohemia and of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic established a research station in the vicinity of Petuniabukta, in the northern part of Billefjorden, Isfjorden, in central Svalbard, which is the northernmost part of Norway. The Interdisciplinary project, Biological and climate diversity of the central part of the Svalbard Arctic Archipelago is a member of the Network for ARCtic Climate and Biological DIVersity Studies (ARCDIV). and Josef Elster, Jitka Klimešová, Oleg Ditrich.
This project is an international cooperative initiative to introduce dog-oriented preventive veterinary medicine in model localities in the districts of Marsabit and Samburu, Kenya. The vaccination of dogs against rabies and improvement of public awareness seek to minimize the impact of rabies on the rural population and prevent further fatal cases in humans. The success of this local project should encourage wider vaccination campaigns in Kenyan districts affected by outbreaks of rabies. Mt. Kulal is an ideal model site for such a study, being isolated but having a basic infrastructure and medium-sized human and dog populations. and David Modrý.
The aim of ALISI is to establish and operate well-equipped regional R&D centers developing diagnostic methods and technologies focused on the micro and nano worlds. Project preparation and implementation is administered by the Institute of Scientific Instruments of ASCR. The professional orientation of ALISI is based on the more than fifty year tradition of this institute. The institute successfully develops the fields of diagnostics and technologies using the methods of electron microscopy and lithography, magnetic resonance, laser interferometry, electron and laser beam welding, thin film deposition by magnetron sputtering, cryogenics, and construction of new scientific instruments. Results of its scientific work are used by partners active not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. Due to its focus on applications, the existence of this center will be a new impetus towards broadening cooperation with Czech as well as abroad industrial partners, universities, medical facilities and R&D institutes. and Bohdan Růžička.

A bust of Ernst Mach was unveiled February 18, 2016. A plaque highlighting his work from 1867 to 1879 was also posted at Charles University on the exterior of the rector´s office. The bust, created by sculptor Jakub Vlček, shows a bullet leaving a gun producing a conical blast wave, as Mach´s widely-known photography shows. The project came at the initiative of Czech Physical Society and the Charles University Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. The plaque has been added to a list of historical places by European Physical Society (EPS). and Gabriela Adámková.
