The Minister of Agriculture Marek Výborný and his Deputy Radek Lanč briefly visited the shared booth of public research institutions in the agricultural sector. During the tour of the exhibition, the discussion revolved around the importance of applied research and the dissemination of its outcomes to end-users as an important aspect of the justification for its funding. The Minister anticipates visiting individual institutes in order to gain a more in-depth understanding of their agendas and expertise. "Communication with the founder, including the search for topics guiding the future course of scientific efforts to best meet the needs of Czech agriculture, is essential for the fulfilment of the long-term concepts of individual institutes," added Martin Faldyna, one of the participants of the meeting.
