Our Ambassadors
"As someone who has spent decades in Czech science—first as a biochemist,
later as vice-rector of Charles University, and now as director of ÚOCHB—I see the untapped potential of our scientific discoveries every day. We have cutting-edge research and talented people,
but we often lack the courage and knowledge to take that crucial step from the laboratory to practice.
Lorem Ipsum Academy is not just another educational program. It is a bridge that I have long missed in our system. It combines the best of the academic world with the practical experience of those who have already successfully made their way into business.
I believe that science should change the world for the better. But publishing
in prestigious journals is not enough – we have to get our discoveries to the people. And that's exactly what Lorem Ipsum Academy is all about – helping scientists become entrepreneurs and managers who turn their knowledge into real impact.
I look forward to being part of this transformation of Czech science."
Prof. RNDr. Jan Konvalinka, CSc.
Director of the Institute of Organic Chemistry
and Biochemistry of the CAS | Chief Ambassador of Lorem Ipsum Academy
