Current Affairs Academics hold mock execution of “Czech science” in protest at cuts
Members of the academic community are raising the alarm over planned budget cuts for the Academy of Sciences. The cuts – proposed by the government’s Council for Research and Development - would see state funds for research projects fall by half over the next three years, something that critics believe will be fatal for Czech scientific research. On Tuesday students and professors held a mock execution of Czech science in the centre of Prague to draw attention to the problem. Earlier we spoke to Jiří Drahoš, President of the Academy of Sciences.
