EUSJA Study Trip 2013 at the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals

On Friday, March 15, 2013, a group of journalists associated in the European Science Journalists Association EUSJA visited our institute. Their visit was organized during the annual EUSJA General Assembly as a Study Trip to a scientific institution.


This year, Marina Hužvárová, the Czech EUSJA representative and Editor-in-Chief of the Academic bulletin, helped organize the EUSJA General Assembly in Prague. Member journalists thus had a possibility of a one-day visit to four institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (AS CR) located in the Prague suburb Lysolaje. In the morning they were welcomed at the Institute of Geology (GLI) by the President of the Academy of Sciences Jiří Drahoš and the GLI director Pavel Bosák, after which the group visited the institute and the Laboratory of Optical Fibers of the Institute of Photonics and Electronics. After lunch, the visit continued at the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals and Institute of Experimental Botany of the AS CR.

Eduard Hála

Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two small points. The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to it, it doesn't bother you anymore.

Arnold Sommerfeld

This quote by the German phycisist Arnold Sommerfeld certainly did not hold for Prof. Eduard Hala, who not only helped shape the scientific directions of the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, but more importantly was one of the world best known thermodynamicists.
