System of Evaluation of Research Institutions in the Czech Republic

Research, experimental development and innovation receive support from public funds in accordance with Act No. 130/2002 Coll., on the support of Research and Development from Public Funds. Since 2009, the Council ensures the preparation of the Methodology and submits it for approval to the Government of the CR. Results obtained over the past 5 years are evaluated. The new 2013 Methodology is based on three pillars, which combine a peer-review evaluation and software algorithms. The positive aspects of the overall process include an increase in the number of research activities.
