Diverse and Top-class Research
We fully support the socio-scientific research and integrate and co-ordinate the research plan we have acquired with several departments of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. Within this framework, FSV UK has made a commitment to provide the professional public with a critical and scientifically-based reflection on the development of Czech society from a long-term perspective. The members of individual institutes and faculties develop the theory, methodology and empirical research in all major areas of social sciences. We cooperate with many leading universities across the globe and we are a member of several international organisations: European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA), The European Money and Finance Forum (SUERF) and many others.
