Marek Ženíšek appointed minister for science and research

President Petr Pavel appointed TOP 09 MP Marek Ženíšek as minister for science, research and innovation on Thursday. He replaces Helena Langšádlová, who recently said she was standing down from the cabinet post.

TOP 09 previously put forward another name for the position, Pavel Tuleja, but he dropped out following questioning of his academic achievements.
