We are falling behind, the Czechs are taking away our most skilled Slovaks

Throughout the last year, Corona has reminded us the importance of science and research, to which we owe virtually everything we know and use.

What is the current status of science in Slovakia, why are we suddenly getting behind and what miracles happen in our country regarding its funding can be found in an interview with the experimental physicist and vice president for science, research and innovations of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) Peter Samuely online on STARTITUP (interview was published in Slovak language).

Among other things, you can read:

• Why is Slovak science just walking while others are picking up the speed?
• How do we lose young talents?
• Is plagiarism common elsewhere and should the prime minister return the title?
• Why is science so important?
• What are some of the recent successes of our scientists?
