Management of the Centre
International Management
The system of management and internal setting of CEITEC has been inspired and set according to most significant scientific institutions, top management is covered by foreign experts in science; the internal language is English. It is based on a regular evaluation of the quality of scientific results carried out by an independent team of top world experts in the given fields. An independent evaluation according to strict international standards is ensured by the Coordination Board and the International Scientific Advisory Board, whose members are significant people in foreign and Czech science.
