- Division of Humanities and Social Sciences
Each division is responsible for coordinating research activities and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among its institutes.

The ASCR is committed to advancing scientific knowledge and innovation. It supports basic and applied research projects, often in collaboration with universities, industry, and international partners. The Academy also plays a crucial role in advising the Czech government on scientific and technological issues.
International Collaboration[edit | edit source]
The ASCR actively participates in international scientific networks and projects. It is a member of several global organizations, such as the European Science Foundation and the International Council for Science. These collaborations facilitate the exchange of knowledge and resources, enhancing the global impact of Czech scientific research.
Funding[edit | edit source]
The Academy's research activities are primarily funded by the Czech government, with additional support from European Union grants and private sector partnerships. The ASCR also competes for international research grants to support its projects.
