On the occasion of the conference Laser Physics 2013 and the visit of our institute, Prof. Yevgeny Dianov delivered public lecture on the activities of the Fiber Optic Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Academic Dianov is the director of this world-famous center of fiber optics and he is particularly active in the area of specially-doped optical fibers for fiber lasers and amplifiers. He mentioned difficult current situation of RAS, not unlike the ours in the summer of 2009. Hastily prepared reform will take over the RAS and the asset management, especially lucrative real estates in Moscow. This kind of reforms can bury in a short time one of the most efficient and prestigious scientific institutions.
The Institute donated clothing and other items to children and mothers at the Infant Ward of Thomayer Hospital in Krč and the Women and Children's Shelter in Holešovice.
