Detail of project in RVVI: RVVI
Annotation of project:
The project addresses the lack of smart growth chambers with gas concentration control and direct automatic measurement of gas exchange between cultivated plants and the atmosphere, as well as the absence of automatic systems for long-term in-situ measurements of gas exchange between plant organs and atmosphere. These devices will find applications in the development of second generation biofuels, new crops and will serve for precision of ecosystems carbon balance estimates.

Annotation of project:
The aim of the proposed project is to reveal and quantify the possible influence of livestock grazing on soil characteristics, incl. degradation changes, quantity and quality of water and biodiversity of the pasture. For the proposed project, three small catchments (50 - 200 ha) will be elected, all of them partly drained, located in the southern hilly part of the Czech Republic and in the Bohemo - Moravian Higland. Within each experimental catchment, two transects will be drawn across the area in cooperation with local farmers, to capture typical soil and morphological units incident in the catchment as well as the pastoral intensity of the site. Within these lines, several points will be chosen, where soil and stand composition samples will be withdrawn. The possible influence of grazing on changes of soil characteristics (both physical and chemical, incl. degradation) as well as on botany composition and coprophagous beetle habitation (Scarabaeidae, Geotrupidae) will be investigated.

Annotation of project:
Biological potential of new genotypes of cereal crops has been increasing and due to the employment of perspective genetic methods and assumed improvement of the photosynthetic efficiency through interferences in carbon metabolism further enhancement of the productivity as much as by 50% can be expected. At the same time, however, the utilization of the potential of new genotypes, considering both quality parameters and especially productivity, has been decreasing and is very variable. Thus, spatial and temporal environmental variability has become a limiting factor of cereal production that should be eliminated by crop management practices. However, there is a lack of reliable tools for diagnosing such variability on larger areas and its performing at shorter intervals. Furthermore, currently available methods fail in agronomic interpretation of measurements that often leads to inconsistent results.

Minister Hladík together with the scientists from CzechGlobe visited wetlands in South Bohemia
During his visit to the South Bohemian Region (April 4, 2024), the Minister of the Environment, Petr Hladík, ceremoniously opened a new hall with the production of heat pumps in Milevsko, he debated with students at the Fishery Vocational School in Třebon, discussed the placement of photovoltaics on heritage-protected buildings and together with the scientists from CzechGlobe he visited the measurement station, which captures the amount of CO2 in wetlands and evaluates the state of the landscape and soil.
More On April 1, the new project of the European research infrastructure IRISCC (Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change risks) focused on the risks caused by climate change was officially launched. The project, which is coordinated by Janne Rinne from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), integrates 14 research infrastructures and e-infrastructures and brings together 80 partners from all over Europe, including scientists from CzechGlobe and its infrastructure.
More On January 30, 2024, a panel discussion on the EU Missions: rethinking governance and policymaking was held in Brussels. The event was organized by the independent think-tank Friends of Europe in collaboration with the consortium of the Horizon Europe SSH – CENTRE project (Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy and Transport Research Excellence).
The Missions represent a new concept within the Horizon Europe programme which is supposed to provide tangible solutions to the cross-cutting societal challenges of today with the aim of supporting the transformation of Europe into a greener, healthier, more inclusive and resilient continent by advocating for a significant restructuring of governance and policy-making processes.
Insight into politics is one of the main activities of the SSH-CENTRE project, which brings together 13 partners from across Europe. The project directly engages stakeholders – researchers, policymakers, representatives of businesses, civil society, and citizens – in strengthening social innovations, promoting SSH-STEM collaboration (social sciences and humanities with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and in transdisciplinary policy consultancy to accelerate the EU’s transition to carbon neutrality.
The success of the Missions requires a fundamental change in the functioning of governments and institutions and a redefinition of the relationship between businesses and governments. Whether such a change has been observed after three years of the programme was the subject of the panel discussion. Additionally, there was a dialogue on defining key monitoring indicators, increasing synergies with other programmes at EU level, exploring further prospects of the Missions, and directing investments into research and innovation.
The SSH-CENTRE project was represented in the panel discussion by Julia Leventon from CzechGlobe, who, among other things, deals with changes in decision-making and management processes towards sustainability and is also working on creating interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research to achieve sustainability goals. The other three panelists were representatives from DG Clima, DG Environment and the European Parliament.
The recording of the panel discussion can be viewed here.
