Why is the experimental physics successful?

Although only few people would call the past year a good one, some members of the Institute of Experimental Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences might be the ones. What was behind awards given to several of its scientists? How can experimental physics be directed towards applications? How to fight for the recognition of this science? These are not the only topics the Academy / Administration of the Slovak Academy of Sciences talks about with the director of this institute, doc. RNDr. Zuzana Gažová, CSc. The whole interview in Slovak language can be read here.
