Financial Report < 89 > RESEARCH REPORTS 2016 RESEARCH REPORTS 2016 Introduction In the perspective of past time, year 2016 can be evaluated as successful, lucky, and full of good news. The Institute personnel succeeded in a tender for grant projects in the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR), obtaining funding for 6 projects (2017–2019). Scientists from the Depart- ment of Geological Processes succeeded in the Academic tender for high-cost scientific equip- ment for 2016: the excimer laser (193 nm, Cetac/Teledyne company) was successfully intro- duced in the LA-ICP-MS laboratory in a combination with the previously acquired ICP-MS (El- ement2) mass spectrometer, now in full operation. They were also successful in the Academic tender for high-cost scientific equipment for 2017 and 2018: the thermal ionization mass spec- trometer (TIMS) will be purchased in 2017. The TIMS is a device used for high-precision de- termination of isotope ratios. Its acquisition will allow to develop the most advanced analytical methods used in geology. The year 2016 marked the onset of contractual co-operation with the Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics in the development of U-Th/He method; a part of the analytical works will be conducted in the laboratories of the Department. This method will ex- tend low-temperature dating and modelling of rocks using fission-track analysis, now routinely conducted at the Department. The other analytical procedures successfully implemented in 2016 include dating of crustal sulphides by the Re-Os isotope system, and the method of platinum- group element analyses in carbonate-rich rock materials. The U-series ICP-MS dating of Pleistocene carbonates (developed with the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw) started to fully operate also on the market level. Dr. Jiří Sláma started his 5-years scholarship for outstanding prospective scientific workers previously working abroad – the J. E. Purkyně Fellowship of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Dr. Tomáš Přikryl obtained a prestigious Premium of Otto Wichterle for young researchers. Dr. Filip Tomek started the Prospective Human Resources Support Programme (PPLZ) – Salary Support for PhD students at the CAS institutions. Dr. Petr Štorch has been appointed a chairman of the International Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy ICS, IUGS. Dr. Ladislav Slavík has been appointed a secretary of the International Subcommission on Devonian Stratig- raphy ICS, IUGS. Both have started their term for the next four years (2016–2020) after the Meeeting of the International Commission on Stratigraphy that was held at the 35th International Geological Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, in August 2016. The slight increase in institutional financing for 2016 enabled to increase salaries by 5 % on average. The most positive news ap- peared after the meeting of the Academy Assembly on December 2016 – the institutional financing of the Institute was supported by additional 13 %! This increase resulted from successful Institute evaluation in the period of 2011–2015. International cooperation in research and development of new methods continued successfully and intensively. Popular science, especially in the frame of complex Academic project Strategy 21, has been developing explosively, again. Pavel Bosák RESEARCH REPORTS 6 2016 2.
