A change in position of the Institute Dire- ctor occurred on May 31: Prof. RNDr. Pavel Bosák, DSc. was replaced by RNDr. Tomáš Přikryl, Ph.D. The selection of new director is always a complicated procedure, governed by the Act on Public Re- search Institutions and by the Statute of the Czech Academy of Sciences. A special committee for the tender was elected by the Institute Board on January 2017. The committee collected information on 2 candidates and evaluated it at its meeting at the beginning of April. One week later, the Institute Board in a secret ballot finally elected the new director, who was later approved by the Academic Board of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Furthermore, new Institute Board and Supervisory Board have been established. Publication activity of the Institute staff highly improved, also thanks to new investments. As was already mentioned in 2016, the Department of Geological Processes succeeded in the Aca- demic tender for high-cost scientific equipment and purchased an excimer laser (193 nm, Cetac/ Teledyne company). It was introduced in the LA-ICP-MS laboratory in a combination with the previously acquired ICP-MS (Element2) mass spectrometer. This department was also successful in the Academic tender for high-cost scientific equipment for 2017 and 2018: the thermal ioniza- tion mass spectrometer (TIMS) was purchased in 2017 and installed in a specially equipped laboratory. It is now in full operation and will contribute to the development of the most advanced analytical methods used in geology. In addition, the Thermo ScientificNicolet iS-50 Fourier-transform infra-red spectrometer (FTIR) has been acquired to the Department of Analytical Methods in 2017. The Institute personnel succeeded in a tender for grant projects in the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR), obtaining funding for three projects (2018–2020). The increase in institutional financing for 2017 enabled to increase salaries by 10 % on average. International cooperation in research and development of new methods continued successfully and intensively. Popular science, especially within the complex project Strategy 21 of the Czech Academy of Sciences, was expanding rapidly again. Pavel Bosák Head of the Executive Board RESEARCH REPORTS 6 2017 2.
