The project is based on the Long-term Plan for the educational and scientific, research, development and innovation, artistic and other creative activities at the University of Pardubice for the period 2016 - 2020. The project aims to support the work of academics and innovation in teaching the subjects Anatomy and Urgent Medicine and Disaster Medicine. By means of this project will be upgraded educational models for the above mentioned subjects. The effectiveness of planned project promotes interdisciplinary and cross-curricular use of models that are detailed in the supplement.

In the Czech Republic there is a wide array of sculptural works made of plaster. They are represented by unique casts of sculptures which trace the process of their creation. A considerable amount of those works are in poor condition. They are artworks of exceptional value inherited from great sculptors of the first half of 20th century, who actively contributed to the formation of the Czech national awareness, confidence and identity.

We aim to identify and document the collection of plaster casts in the Czech Republic, starting first with the prominent sculptor, Stanislav Sucharda.

The main outcome will be an organized exhibition of his sculptures, which will present both plaster artworks, as a crucial part of the legacy of great masters of sculpting in the context of all their creative process, and the restoration and care for works of art made of plaster.

Concurrently, there will be educational programmes for students as well as for the general public to familiarize them with the basis and expressions of sculpture of the first half of 20th century in connection with the creation of the national cultural identity and with the issues of restoration and care for plaster artworks.
The primary content of applied research lies in testing traditional materials and in development of new ones as well as new technologies, in optimising the process of restoration and conservation of moveable monuments made of plaster. The aim of the applied research is to determine the limits of individual procedures and technologies used and subsequently, to set an optimum mode of the way the artworks would be stored after restoration. Neither in Czech nor in foreign literature the topic of restoration of plaster artefacts has been sufficiently worked on. Generally, the topic of plaster sculptures is quite a neglected and unexplored area, in spite of the fact it is plaster in which a lot of outstanding precious works of art have been preserved.

This project is focused on application of complex vanadium compounds in paint producing industry. These compounds should serve as ecological alternative for currently used cobalt-based driers of alkyd-based paints.

Modern cyclization reactions will be studied

Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation in the Industry

Uncatalyzed Hydrosilylations Induced by N?Si Coordination

New catalysts for coupling reactions will be prepared

It is a project under the Erasmus Plus European programme, more precisely the key activity number 2 ? Strategic partnership in professional education in educational institutions. If approved, the project will be realized in October 2016 ? October 2019. To realize the project the Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice, is going to have their own budget.
The main coordinator of the project is Agence Erasmus+ France, the other partners are Belgium and Switzerland. The Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice, has been approached together with educational institutions in Portugal and Sweden.
The main purpose of the project is to increase the quality of provided perioperative care by determining the procedures / standards, their implementation into practice and the follow-up evaluation of these procedures / standards. The target group will be nurses in operating rooms and academic staff and students focussing on surgery and perioperative care. The role of The Faculty of Health Studies, University of Pardubice, is going to be the preparation of a questionnaire, validation of the questionnaire, dissemination of the questionnaire in the Czech Republic, and analysis of collected data.
Part of the project is going to be a participation in six international meetings with partners and presentation of the project results. The project is going to run in cooperation with professional organisations of scrub nurses from the involved countries.
The Faculty of Health Studies realisation team consists of four members of the academic staff and one member of the administrative staff.
