Science and Research at the IMS

Within the framework of the FSV research plan and in a number of other Czech and European grants, the Institute's members are developing the theory, methodology and the empirical research in all the major areas of social sciences.

The Institute publishes its own magazine, Studia Territorialia, which is a reviewed academic magazine covering Area Studies.

The students are also involved in the Institute's scientific activities as assistants or researchers, or as the main investigators in the projects of the Charles University Grant Agency (GA UK).
