In the quarry, they were equipped with geology shovels and spread all over the area to take the chance to dig the ground for some quartz crystals. One of the Venezuelan participants was lucky to find a neat piece of crystal: “Seeking for crystals is fun, but I would not trade geology for chemistry,” he said.

After only two days of adapting in Brati- slava, your mentors have already turned on their working mode, meaning they have already inspected the IChO 2018 laborato- ries yesterday to ensure everything is ready for exams. Then they took a train to Prague. And it indeed was a special train, with 16 railcars, the longest one ever to be dispatched from Bratislava Train Station! Now they have the first night in Prague behind them and they are going to meet with the authors of the Olympiad tasks in the next few days. They will be discussing, negotiating, and translating the final prob- lems of the theoretical and practical tasks to customize them for each team. Because the test questions remain top secret, you won't be able to get in touch with your mentors until Wednesday at the Summer IChO Party in Prague. But not to worry, your mentors won't be working all the time. A tempting programme is prepared for them as well. During their stay in the Czech Republic, they will discov- er Kutná Hora, the Vltava River, and other interesting sights. Elizabeth Lensmith, Marek Lanč BELLOŇ © T.

  • The Austrian Academy of Sciences
    The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (originally published: ALLEA Biennial Yearbook 2006; updated: December 2008) A brief history of the institution The present-day Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in its work continues the research traditions and mission not only of the former Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences but also of its predecessors. The oldest long-lasting learned society was the Royal Czech Society of Sciences (founded in 1784) which encompassed both the humanities and the natural sciences. As early as 1861- 1863 Jan Evangelista Purkyně proposed in his treatise Academia the establishment of an autonomous non-university scientific institution associating research institutes representing the main fields of the science of that time. This idea of an institution engaged in interdisciplinary research corresponds to the concept and structure of the present Academy of Sciences. By the end of the 19th century, language-differentiated scientific institutions arose in this country: the Czech Academy of Science and the Arts in 1890 and the Association for the Fostering of German Science, Arts and Literature in Bohemia in 1891 were established. The Czech Academy of Science and the Arts was founded owing to the significant financial support from the Czech architect and builder, Josef Hlávka who became its first President. The aim of this institution was to promote the development of Czech science and literature and to support Czech arts. The most important work of this Academy was its publication activities. Scholarships and financial support were also provided and smaller research units arose upon its initiative as well. After the foundation of the independent Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 other scientific institutions were established, such as the Masaryk Academy of Labour and autonomous state institutes, such as the Slavonic, Oriental and Archaelogical Institutes.

  • Czech Republic Heart of Europe Location
    Czech Republic Heart of Europe Location • The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The country is bordered by Germany to the west, Poland to the north, Austria to the south and Slovakia to the east. • Capital, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is Prague. • Population: 10 562 214 (census 2011), density 134/km2 • Currency: Czech crown, Kč (CZK) • Language: Czech (Slavic) • Area: 78 866 km2 Geography • Map with traditional regions Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and current administrative regions • Big cities: Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Liberec, Olomouc, Ústí nad Labem, České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, Pardubice Nature • The Czech landscape is exceedingly varied. Bohemia, to the west, consists of a basin drained by the Elbe (Czech: Labe) and the Vltava (or Moldau) rivers, surrounded by mostly low mountains, such as the Krkonoše range of the Sudetes. The highest point in the country, Sněžka at 1,602 m, is located here. • Moravia, the eastern part of the country, is also quite hilly. It is drained mainly by the Morava River, but it also contains the source of the Oder River (Czech: Odra). Climate • The Czech Republic has a temperate continental climate, with relatively hot summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. The temperature difference between summer and winter is relatively high, due to the landlocked geographical position. • At the highest peak of Sněžka (1,602 m), the average temperature is only −0.4 °C, whereas in the lowlands of the South Moravian Region, the average temperature is as high as 10 °C. The country's capital, Prague, has a similar average temperature, although this is influenced by urban factors.

  • The Czech Republic
    THE CZECH REPUBLIC Geography The Czech Republic is a small country in Central Europe. The area of the Czech Republic is almost 80,000 square kilometres. The country consists of three regions: Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia. The population of the Czech Republic is about ten and a half million people. Most of these people are Czechs and Moravians. There are also Slovaks, Ukrainians, Vietnamese, Roma, Poles, and others. The capital city of the Czech Republic is Prague. The Czech Republic borders Germany, Austria, Poland, and Slovakia. The highest mountains in the Czech Republic are the Giant Mountains (in Czech Krkonoše). They are located on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. The highest mountain in the Giant Mountains and the highest mountain in the Czech Republic is Sněžka. There are other mountain ranges in the Czech Republic, for example the Šumava, which is located in the South on the border between the Czech Republic and Germany. The longest rivers in the Czech Republic are the Vltava, the Labe and the Morava. History The history of the Czech Republic is stupid and sad, like the history of most other countries around the world. Maybe even a bit more. People have lived in the area of present day Czech Republic for a very long time. There can still be found their pre- historic artifacts, for example the famous Venus of Dolní Věstonice. The first people whose identity we know were the Celts. They were later replaced by Germanic people and the Germanic people were replaced by Slavic people. In the 9th century, Great Moravia was established.

  • OBITUARY in Memoriam Professor Otto Wichterle
    OBITUARY In Memoriam Professor Otto Wichterle With much regret we have received the news that Professor Dr. Ing. Otto Wichterle, DrSc, Honorary President of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, former president of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Doctor h. c. of several prestigious Universities as Polytechnic University of New York, University of Illinois, Chicago University, and Charles University of Prague and member of scientific societies and institutions in several countries died on August 18th, 1998. Professor Wichterle was born on October 27th, 1913 in the town Prostějov in Moravia, Czech Republic into a family with an adventurous and thriving company producing agricultural machinery. After finishing High School education and graduation at the Technical University he took position of the lecturer at the Institute of Experimental Organic Chemistry at the Technical University in Prague and at the same time he enrolled as a student of Faculty of Medicine. His well-known interest in applying chemistry to medical needs can thus be traced more than 50 years back. His academic pursuits were interrupted in 1939, when the Czech Universities were closed by forces of occupation. Prom 1940 to 1945 he was Head of the Polymer Department of Bata Research Institute in Zlin. In 1943 he spent some time in Gestapo prison. When the war ended, Professor Wichterle resumed his academic activities at the Technical University in Prague and Brno. In 1949 he became full professor of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at the Technical University in Prague. In 1952 he became a Corresponding Member of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Organic Technology.
