Václav Havel in Contemporary History

19 Mar 2012

Working Conference at the Headquarters of the ASCR
 
The figure of Václav Havel as a publically engaged intellectual was the subject of a conference held by the Institute for Contemporary History (ÚSD) of the ASCR on Monday, 19 March 2012 at the Headquarters of the ASCR in Prague. It was attended by a number of historians and other experts from the ASCR as well as from other institutions. According to the director of the ÚSD, ASCR, PhDr. Oldřich Tůma, PhD., two main reasons led to the organisation of the conference – the motif of the symbolic farewell to Václav Havel and venerating his memory and then on the working level an attempt for an objective and unbiased formulation or at least a preliminary definition of the ground plan of what V. Havel means for Czech society and its history.

The aim of the workshop is to open the debate more broadly. We are interested in exploring and discussing the relationship between academic positions of early stage researchers, their career prospects and changing institutional contexts of knowledge production.

A new study of biological invasions in Europe found they were linked not so much to changes in climate or land cover, but to two dominant factors – more money and more people. Wealth and population density, along with an increase in international trade and commerce, were the forces most strongly associated with invasive species that can disrupt ecosystems and cause severe ecological or agricultural damage, scientists said.
