How to proceed in evaluating and financing science: International Audit recommendations
Moravcová, Jitka
British company Technopolis Group and their partners performed between 2010 and 2011 a deep and complex analysis of the Research, Development and Innovation System in the Czech Republic. The outputs of this analysis are exceptional documents drawn by an internationally recognized authority with extensive experience in the field of management, evaluation and financing of research and development that give us for the first time an independent view of our system. The audit results are a very good starting point for the update of strategic documents such as Research, Development and Innovation System Reform or Research, Development and Innovation National Policy that should lead to the visible improvement of the RDI system effectiveness and contribute to the improved competitiveness of the Czech Republic. All the documents are accessible to general public on the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports web sites http://audit-vav.reformy-msmt.cz/. The paper will inform about the most important recommendations concerning RDI management, financing and evaluation on all levels.

The Impact of Institutional Capital of Research Institutions on Patent Activity- example of the Czech Republic
Linka, Milan ; Bartoň, Petr (advisor) ; Koubek, Ivo (referee)
The thesis examines impact of the institutional capital, which captures the ability to produce quality patents, on the number of applied patent applications after the adoption of new governmental system of research and development evaluation. For determination of the institutional capital I use similar approach as Turnovec (2005) in case of publications. The estimation of the institutional capital is based on the evaluation of patents received by publicly financed research institutions. The evaluation of patents is based on the analysis of patent family and patent citation data. The data are analyzed using methods of multi-criteria decision making. Further it is estimated that the institutional capital does not influence the number of applied patent applications.
