The Association for Youth, Science and Technology is a non-governmental, non-profit organization of children and youth. AMAVET brings together 3500 registered active members working in various scientific disciplines. AMAVET plays an important role in conjuction with schools and school institutions, in forming the mindset of young people through informal education, which is becoming a valuable part of a whole life education. The Committee of AMAVET has chosen the ten best student projects on May 6-7, 2008 at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. and Gabriela Adámková.
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 CzechGlobe project will seek to shed new light on a crucial and sometimes controversial environmental problem: monitoring Global Climate Change (GCC) and assessing its impact on the basic thematic segments of the atmosphere, and ecosystems and socioeconomic systems. The project will establish a centre of excellence within the framework of EU structural funds called Operational Programme of Research and Development for Innovations in the Czech Republic involving spatially distributed research infrastructure within the Czech Republic. CzechGlobe project is based on an international research team and partnerships with important foreign institutions, such as Helmholz Gemeinschaft Research Centre Jülich, Germany; Institute for Agroenvironmental and Forest Biology Research Rome, and the University of Zurich. One of the partners in this project is the Institute of Atmospheric Physics ASCR. and Mirka Šprtová.
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.
