Organization changes of CIISB at the Institute of Biotechnology
The CIISB facilities at IBT have been undergoing the following organizational changes.
On November 14, 2024, all CIISB management bodies met to listen to the current status of the research infrastructure and its core facilities at CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology and Institute of Biotechnology.
The meeting was held in hybrid mode as most of our SAB members are foreign renowned researchers. Altogether, SAB members, Executive Committee members, Supervisory Board members, and CF Heads were informed about the latest achievements (user publications, open access applications, educational activities, etc.), upcoming evaluations from MEYS and Instruct-ERIC, and current financing by national and Horizon projects. All 10 CF Heads presented their services portfolio, future plans in equipment upgrade and method development, and significant user cases.
Memorial Conference of Prof. Vladi Sklenář, CIISB father-founder followed this meeting.
