In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of ontology engineering with professor Vojtěch Svátek. Professor Svátek, along with his team, joined the Horizon Europe project “Onto-DESIDE” through the unique “hop-on” mechanism. Their goal is to support the development of circular economy systems by enhancing the flexibility of data exchange between partners in circular […]
Ing. Michal Strnad, Ph.D., a doctoral graduate from VŠE, has been awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship, through which he will focus on the relatively unexplored phenomenon of ethno-regionalist movements in the European Union. What role do these movements play in political affairs, what strategies do they use, and why are they key […]
Can cultural differences explain variations in leadership preferences and what is the impact of other factors? In a paper published in the journal Cross-Cultural Research Daniela Pauknerová and her team, on behalf of VŠE, examined these questions using the Leader Behaviour Description Questionnaire, version XII (LBDQXII questionnaire). The study explores leadership culture in the two […]
In February, we were delighted to host the 1st GOBLIN Plenary Meeting at the Prague University of Economics and Business. The event brought together international experts to discuss cutting-edge topics in knowledge graphs, embeddings and more. The plenary meeting was opened by a welcome address by VSE’s prof. Vojtěch Svátek with a speech introducing the […]
Does the dynamic model averaging (DMA) approach enhance the accuracy of the exchange rate forecasting, particularly in the medium and long run? In a paper published in the journal Heliyon Martin Časta, on behalf of VŠE, introduced dynamic model averaging framework for exchange rate forecasting. Using data of nine currency pairs (AUD/USD, CAD/USD, CHF/USD, EUR/USD, […]
Martin Pělucha from the Prague University of Economics and Business has long been exploring how to connect science with policymaking. As part of the Science for Policy initiative, he also engages in training researchers on how to effectively communicate scientific findings to the political sphere. But what exactly does the Science for Policy initiative entail […]
What are the trends of donor crowdfunding in the Slovak environment? In a paper published in the journal Acta Missiologica by Libor Pavera on behalf of VŠE and his team, the researchers provided a brief definition of crowdfunding, a concise historical overview and executed a qualitative content analysis. During research conducted in April 2023 they […]
What are the effects of population aging on key national economic indicators? The aging trend is driven by declining fertility rates, improvements in healthcare and living standards, and increased longevity, which determine the national economic indicators and global economy. Tomáš Kábrt, on behalf of VŠE, assessed the impact of demographic shifts on external financial stability […]
Vojtěch Svátek and Ondřej Zamazal, experts in ontological engineering from the Prague University of Economics and Business, have joined an ongoing Horizon Europe project called Onto-DESIDE with their team through the so-called hop-on mechanism. Their expertise in ontology development and transformation is expected to help advance the circular economy by enabling more flexible data exchange […]
Over the past decade, the Czech research community has been encouraged to publish not only in academic journals but also in conference proceedings. This trend was reinforced by the research evaluation methodology known as “kafemlejnek” (the coffee grinder). The methodology defined the output type “D” as follows: “An article in the proceedings presents original research […]
