Ve středu 7. srpna náš ústav navštívil generální ředitel KOREA TESTING Co., Ltd. Dr-Ing Benedicto KIM z Jižní Koreje. Účelem návštěvy byly zejména konzultace ohledně klimatického a větrného tunelu. Firma KOREA TESTING se zabývá vývojem testovacích přístrojů a v té souvislosti p. generálního ředitele velmi zajímaly naše zkušenosti s problematikou návrhu, s konstrukčními a technologickými detaily a postupem výstavby Klimatického větrného tunelu ÚTAM s názvem „Vincenc Strouhal“, o kterém získal informace z mezinárodních publikací. Firma je pověřena zakázkou výstavby klimatického tunelu v Koreji, shání dodavatele v České republice a má zřejmě zájem i na konzultačních pracích s ÚTAM.

Dr. Benedicto KIM následně zamířil také do Centra Telč, aby si prohlédl Větrný a klimatický tunel.

Ve čtvrtek 27. června 2019 se v Obecním domě uskutečnila mezinárodní konference s názvem Řízení ochrany kulturního dědictví v měnícím se prostředí. Konferenci uspořádal Ústav teoretické a aplikované mechaniky Akademie věd ČR spolu s Městskou částí Praha -Troja v rámci projektu ProteCHt2save.

The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v. v. i., announces an international invitation for tenders for the job position: Researcher in Department of Dynamics and Aerodynamics, Laboratory of Climatic and Wind Tunnel "Vincenc Strouhal" in the research Centre Telč.

A Newsletter of the project ProteCHt2save has been published. It is the third newsletter of the Interreg Central Europe Project.

About ProteCHt2save project

Web page of the project

In the second half of 1990s, an increased attention was paid to the safeguarding of the built heritage and its integration into the life of contemporary society. The complexity of problems of cultural heritage called for modern interdisciplinary approach and this was started in a systematic way in 1995 by founding of a new department of the Institute - the Associated Research Centre for Historic Structures and Sites (ARCHISS) - joining together researchers from two institutes of the Academy of Sciences. The process continued, because of success in grant project competitions and now there are scientists involved in the research from other institutes and universities and two operating research units - one in Prague and one in another World Heritage City of Telč.

Roman-catholic diocese of St.Pölten and the city of Brno own a great many buildings, such as churches, rectories and monasteries. These structures do not always have a purpose, which consequently has a negative impact on urban development. Not being in use causes their decay. The current problems are of the same character on both sides of the regions' borders, caused mainly by a negative demographic development and past political events in the course of the 20th century.
