The annual meeting of scientific departments and teams was held again this year with the aim of strengthening mutual synergies and collaboration, and presenting the best results of the scientific work at the CIIRC over the previous year. CACORR – CIIRC Annual Colloquium on Research Results was held right in the CIIRC building on Thursday 18 January 2024.

The event was opened by its organizer, Prof. Zdeněk Hanzálek, Head of the Industrial Informatics Department. He then handed over the floor to the Scientific Director, Prof. Vladmir Mařík, who briefly presented the strategy for the coming year and evaluated the previous year. The CIIRC is currently facing a number of challenges, to which we need to adapt and focus on submitting high quality and successful projects. Prof. Mařík emphasized the high performance of some teams in our institution, which are able to apply for new large projects. This ability to seek and win new projects is a key element that can help overcome the current situation in research funding.

Next, Vladimír Mařík focused on the values that should still be the priority of our institution. He stressed that excellence, especially on a European scale, should remain the main goal. He also emphasized the application and applicability of the results of our projects. Cooperation was identified as the third key element and Prof. Mařík stressed the need to promote integration between different entities at the level of the Czech Republic.

In response to the current situation, Prof. Mařík suggested that it is necessary to evaluate the quality of work and identify the mistakes of our institution and others.

In his opening speech, Vladimír Mařík called for increased cooperation at both national and European level. He supported the idea of greater involvement in EU projects and the search for grants that bring synergies. At the same time, he stressed the need to look for cooperation not only abroad, but also within the Czech research environment and internally – among the teams at the CIIRC.

At the end of the conference, Vladimír Mařík reminded the great importance of this meeting, which is to document the best results of the teams at the CIIRC. He considers this workshop as a key step to improve cooperation between teams and better understanding between colleagues. This workshop should serve as a starting point to achieve better results in 2024.
