Science and Research
The basic direction of applied research at the FNB is subject to annual internal evaluation in the form of an update of the work plan for the relevant year and thus responds to the current state of medical knowledge, new technological trends, the development of cooperation with partner institutions in the Czech Republic and abroad and, last but not least, to the current needs of state policy and administration and its information demand.
These basic tasks are regularly modified on the basis of external and internal stimuli, they are related to the direction of the state research policy determined by the Council of the Government of the Czech Republic for Research, Development and Innovation.
