Jan Kratochvíl
Guarantor of the Scientific council in the field of Computer Science
"I greatly appreciate the patrons of Czech science and their support of development and popularization of Czech science through NF Neuron. And I'm honored to participate in NF Neuron activities. A Neuron award for top Czech scientists represents an impulse for their further professional growth and visibility beyond the boundaries of their disciplines. Furthermore, it increases their visibility in their homeland, as they are often better known abroad than in the Czech Republic."
