Open Door Days at the Academy's Institutes

After two years' tradition the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic again plans a program of presentations and scientific experiments for "open-door days" at its institutes. This popular event (last year about 5000 visitors participated) has sought to introduce the broader public, but especially the younger generation, to the current role of science and research in the many spheres of every day life in modern society impacted by it. This year's happening will be held on October 19 - 22.

Academic Bulletin presents an interview with Doctor Petr Kratochvíl, a member of the Academic Council, concerning these open house activities and some this year's "innovations".

Academic Bulletin also carries the response of the Vice-Minister of Education, Assistant Professor Josef Průša.
