On 5 May 2023 our station in Střížovice welcomed the Governor of the Liberec Region (where the station is located), Martin Půta, and the Mayor of the town of Turnov, Tomáš Hocke, accompanied by the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Eva Zažímalová, and other guests from our Institute.
We introduced our guests to our activities related to breeding apple varieties resistant to economically important diseases. We showed them our orchard and our modern facilities. They also had an opportunity to taste some of our most popular and newer varieties.
Besides our station, the participants also visited the research centre TOPTEC of the Institute of Plasma Physics, focused on the development of lasers and other optic devices.
You can learn more about their visit in articles on the IEB website and on the website of the CAS (in Czech).
We will be happy to hear from you.
