Life in Olomouc Guide for Summer Schools' Students a Word of Welcome from the Rector of Palacký University
Life in Olomouc Guide for Summer Schools' Students A word of welcome from the Rector of Palacký University Since its foundation in 1573, the university in Olomouc has always re- cruited students and academics from many European countries. Due to the large number of foreign students we received, our university gradu- ally evolved into a genuinely multilingual academy with Latin, German and Czech being the dominant tongues. Despite the challenges of history and dramatic discontinuities of the past, in the twenty-first century our university still believes that internationalization renders an endless po- tential to enhance scientific excellence as well as the quality of research and academic training. Under my guidance, Palacký University has strong ambitions to become the most international educational institution in Central Europe in terms of cutting-edge research collaboration, joint and double degree study programs and the number of foreign students. How- ever, internationalization does not only involve headhunting and recruit- ing students across the globe. In doing so, we also receive important side benefits, namely cultural diversity, plurality of judgment and, above all, much needed dialogue and tolerance. I very much hope that in Palacký University you will find a friendly institution, supportive tutors and an in- tellectually stimulating academic environment.

Characteristics of the Moravskoslezský Region
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MORAVSKOSLEZSKÝ REGION The Moravskoslezský Region is very diverse from geographical point of view. From the west it is bound by the massif of the Hrubý Jeseník Mountain Range with the highest peak of the Region and the entire Moravia, the Praděd (1 491 m). The mountains gradually pass to the Nízký Jeseník rolling foothills and the Odra Hills (Oderské vrchy). Central part of the Region is characteristic by densely populated lowland territory of the Opava lowlands (Opavská nížina), the Ostrava basin (Ostravská pánev) and the Moravian gateway (Moravská brána). Towards the southeast, the landscape again gains a mountainous character and culminates by the Beskydy Mountains – that are called the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains (Moravskoslezské Beskydy) at the border with Slovakia – topping out at Lysá hora (1 323 m) and the Silesian Beskydy Mountains (Slezské Beskydy) on the border with Poland. The Region lies in the northeast of the Czech Republic being one of its most marginal parts. In the north and in the east it borders with Polish voivodeships (the Silesian and Opole voivodeships), in the southeast with the Žilina Region of Slovakia. Within the regional arrangement of the CR it is lined by the Olomoucký Region and in the south it touches the Zlínský Region. Since the Region creates the state borders, it can effectively co-operate in the area of output, development of infrastructure, protection of the environment, cultural and education activity and, most of all, in tourism. For this purpose, 4 euroregions exist on the territory of the Region now: Beskydy, Praděd, Silesia and Těšínské Slezsko. -
Fusion in the Era of Burning Plasma Studies: Workforce Planning for 2004 to 2014
Fusion in the Era of Burning Plasma Studies: Workforce Planning for 2004 to 2014 Final Report to FESAC, March 29, 2004 Executive Summary This report has been prepared in response to Dr. R. Orbach’s request of the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) to “address the issue of workforce development in the U.S. fusion program.” The report addresses three key questions: what is the current status of the fusion science, technology, and engineering workforce; what is the workforce that will be needed and when it will be needed to ensure that the U.S. is an effective partner in ITER and to enable the U.S. to successfully carry out the fusion program; and, what can be done to ensure a qualified, diversified, and sufficiently large workforce and a pipeline to maintain that workforce? In addressing the charge, the Panel considers a workforce that allows for a vigorous national program of fusion energy research that includes participation in magnetic fusion (ITER) and inertial fusion (NIF) burning plasma experiments. The surveys of the universities, national laboratories, and industrial laboratories indicate that approximately 1000 persons hold full-time positions that involve fusion research. The fusion research community is found to be less diverse in terms of gender and race than the general population of physicists in the U.S. The age distribution of the fusion faculty shows a larger fraction of older persons than the national distribution of physics faculty. This imbalance is more evident at institutions with the largest and most active fusion research groups. At the national and industrial laboratories, 1/3 of the permanent staff is 55 or older. -
