We have new panelists!

Ten new top experts, selected on the basis of new and stricter requirements for their professional quality, are being added to some of the Czech Health Research Council expert panels starting 15 July 2023. "We are delighted to welcome more colleagues to our ranks. The increased representation of women, while maintaining consistent requirements for professional quality, is an important step for us, reflecting our efforts to achieve gender balance in the composition of the review panels. Surely it goes without saying how important gender equality and diversity of perspectives are in science and research. It brings new perspectives, but above all it helps to make the results more objective. We greatly appreciate the cooperation with the new members of the panels and we believe that their expertise and experience will be a significant contribution to the AZV's activities," said Professor Ondřej Slabý, AZV ČR Chair.
