20th Anniversary of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic

The ASCR has been observing the 20th anniversary of its origin. And the Czech Republic itself, the Parliament of the Czech Republic and many other institutions in the country are also celebrating their similar anniversaries. The emergence of the ASCR, and these other institutions was a necessary consequence of the split of Czechoslovakia, which took effect on January 1, 1993. Although there is a pa­rallel between the esta­blishment of the Czech Academy and Czech Republic, there is one distinction. The ASCR was founded December 31, 1992 and thus is one day older than the Czech Republic.
