He is responsible for the ‘open access’ agenda, scientific evaluations and career development of this interdisciplinary European Centre of Excellence, that currently consists of 16 research teams and operating research infrastructure developed thanks to EU structural funding (mainly the project CzechGlobe, supported by the Research and Development for Innovations Operational Programme with budget 35mil EUR during the period 2010-2014).
