Introductory word
New Vice-deans have taken office
Dean of the Faculty of Science Martin Kubala appointed members of the team of Vice-deans. So far there are five of them, however the number is likely to grow in the future. The new Dean has been leading the Faculty since February 1.
The statutory representative of the Dean as well as Vice-dean for International matters has become Miloslav Dušek from Department of Optics. Vice-dean for Science and Research is Karel Lemr from Department of Analytical Chemistry, Study matters have newly been entrusted to Eduard Bartl from Department of Computer Science, and Karel Hron from Department of Mathematical Analysis and Applications of Mathematics has been appointed the Vice-dean for External relations. Libor Kvítek from Department of Physical Chemistry and Regional Center of Advanced Technologies and Materials will be in charge of specific issues related to the operation of science centers.
"I appreciate the fact that we have managed to combine experience with representatives of younger generation which will lead the Faculty in the future. In the following weeks we would like to get acquainted with the operation of the Dean´s Office, analyze the complete agenda and I will probably add some members to my team," said Kubala.
The Vice-dean for Transfer of Technologies is a new position. "I hope this position will among other things be useful for better interconnection of the science centers with the Faculty. I will do my best to achieve this goal," announced Vice-dean Kvítek.
"There needs to be a synergy not only between the two campuses in Holice and Envelopa, but also among scientists, teachers and administrative apparatus," added the new Vice-dean for Science and Research Lemr.
With the exception of Miloslav Dušek, this is the first time for all Vice-deans to be in this role. The Dean introduced his team of Vice-deans at the recent meeting of the Academic Senate of the Faculty.
