Confirmation of the Director of the Timber Research Institute
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováMs. Jitka Beránková, Director, received confirmation of her appointment as Director of the Timber Research and Development Institute, Prague, s.p., from Mr. Petr Doškář, Chief Director of the Economic Section of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and Mr. Lukáš Trska, Director of the Department of Management of Ministry Organizations.
The director comments on the situation: “I thank the Minister of Industry and Trade Lukáš Vlček for his trust. My main, personal goal is to build a modern laboratory, research and innovation center to support companies in the wood processing industry. Exactly in the spirit of the National Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization of the Czech Republic 2021 – 2027, which the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic leads our industry.”
In 2001, during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Wood Institute, the then director Bohumil Burda said:
“In the post-war years, it was no longer enough to pass on knowledge of wood processing from father to son. Soon after its establishment, the Wood Institute became one of the main pillars of wood research in the Czech Republic and its activities influenced most woodworking companies.”
And the director adds: “Our specialists have knowledge at the European level, they know the answers to the technical and professional questions of the industry, they only need adequate conditions for their practical use.”
