Financing the European Union Centres of Excellence in Czech Republic
ANDRESOVÁ, Eva
The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the sustainability of financing of European centers of excellence in the Czech Republic. With the support of the EU (European Regional Development Fund) and the state budget, it was possible to build a limited number of European centers of excellence in the Czech Republic. The grant provider was the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, through the Operational Program Research and Development for Innovation. The thesis describes, compares and analyzes the future of these centers in the coming years, especially after 2020 (the end of the so-called sustainability of these centers), when a significant reduction of EU resources will occur. Then the budget of European funds can only be partially reimbursed from national public sources, that is why it is necessary to aim in particular at stimulating the business resources invested in science and research. The centers themselves will already be in full operation and are expected to be fully involved and to make use of the revenue mainly from contract research to cover their costs. However, their operation would not be possible without state support, as evidenced in particular by data from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education. On the basis of analyzes and international comparisons it can be stated that the system of research and development in the Czech Republic, ie also the financial sustainability of centers of excellence, is developing in the desired direction. The Government of the Czech Republic is fully aware that effectively invested in research and development brings not only economic but also social benefits. Support for newly built centers of excellence will be supported from the state budget in the coming years.

Chmelařová, Eva ; Blažek, Jiří (advisor) ; Marek, David (referee)
Is there any link between hierarchy of transnational corporations, banks and research and development institutions? Abstract The world city theory focuses on concentration of the most progressive activities of the social-economic system in a few key cities that together have a major share of command and control power within the global economy. Location advantages of such cities attract TNC headquarters, financial services and R&D facilities. Interactions between them lead to further strengthening of the position of the global city and it brings a cumulative effect on the location advantages. This paper examines the global city hierarchy based on the data on 1 500 world's biggest companies headquarters location, as well as location of 1 500 most important R&D institutions and 200 biggest banks. According to the results the triad of New York, London and Tokyo was taken over by Beijing. Correlation analysis of the city rankings in all of the three hierarchies confirms significant geographical link between global arrangement of TNC headquarters, financial services and R&D institutions. Keywords: global city, TNCs, banks, RIS, research and development, geographical organization
