The Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports has granted Materiálový a Metalurgický Výzkum (MMV) permission to accept researchers from countries outside the European Union. The decision is valid for five years. This step significantly strengthens the international dimension of projects such as CirkArena. It will enable experienced researchers from around the world to participate in the preparation and future operation of the new center in Třinec, as well as in the overall activities of MMV. The authorization confirms MMV’s position as a research organization with a European reach and paves the way for building a broader international scientific team. Aleš Novotný, MMV’s human resources specialist, said: “The approval will allow us to specifically target and recruit experts from abroad. It is a step that naturally expands our possibilities and supports the further development of the company.”
