Daily: US could help fund scientific research

The financial daily Hospodářské noviny has reported that the US could help fund Czech scientific research as part of the fight against terrorism if an agreement is reached on the stationing of a US radar base on Czech territory. The newspaper has written that the US Missile Defense Agency has compiled a list of Czech researchers in high-tech fields such as cybernetics, information technology, and nanotechnology, while Prague’s technical university, ČVUT, is to assess what Czech specialists might offer. Miroslava Kopičová from the Government Council for Research & Development has stated that US funding represented a “big opportunity”.
