September 29, 2022

We would like to invite you to a debate on "80 years ago General de Gaulle declared the Munich Agreement null and void". On 29 September 1942, General de Gaulle declared the Munich Agreement null and void from the outset. It was a powerful gesture and an unappreciated act of resistance. How can we understand his declaration? Why on this day? What were the immediate consequences for relations between the Czechoslovaks and the French? And what, in general, is the legacy of the Munich Agreement in France, in the Czech Republic and at the heart of Franco-Czech relations?

CRoPlus: The raw materials needed for a clean energy transition exist. The challenge is the time needed to gain them

October 13, 2022

The transition to clean energy requires sufficient critical resources to enable this transformation. Consumption of these materials is expected to grow significantly in the future. How will the EU's decarbonisation efforts evolve in the future? This topic was discussed by our researcher Michal Hrubý in the Studio Leonardo programme of Český rozhlas Plus. According to Hrubý, the problem is not the lack of resources, but the time it takes to obtain the raw materials. In this context, he draws attention to a new legislative initiative of the European Commission, which aims to better coordinate the time of extraction of critical materials.
