The Kijonková Foundation is becoming a key partner of the aforementioned program, and the entrepreneur herself hopes that this will help create a sufficiently high-quality environment for promising scientific ideas to emerge and grow in the Czech Republic.
“We want to support young people who have the courage to come up with new ideas and turn them into real innovations. The Czech Republic has exceptionally talented students and scientists. If we create high-quality conditions for them and allow them to gain experience, they will return their knowledge and advance Czech science and the economy. I am convinced that supporting the CTU INFC program is an investment in the future of the entire country,” says Kijonková from the position of the founder of the foundation.
"Private support for science and research at universities is still exceptional in domestic conditions. I am very pleased that the Simona Kijonková Foundation has become our fifth partner in the INFC interdisciplinary cooperation project. It is thus among the pioneers of cooperation between the private sector and universities and helps create top scientific results that ultimately benefit society as a whole," adds CTU Rector Michal Pěchouček.
