The Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences have used a new electronic submission system ACTAVIA after January 1, 2023

The Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), the greatest publisher of scientific agricultural journals, have used a new electronic submission system ACTAVIA.

The publishing board of the CAAS announces that after January 1, 2023 all journals published by the CAAS have used a new electronic submission system ACTAVIA, which has been tested in the course of this year and which has been in the live operation of one of our journals since November 1. Compared to the previous one the new electronic submission system offers to the publishing house and all its users the functionalities that will allow continuous development of user friendliness and development of journals. User manuals have been created for all our authors, reviewers, members of editorial boards and editorial offices that will help you to submit your manuscript to the electronic submission system and its administration (user manuals are available here >>).

We believe that you, the authors, will accept this change in a positive way and that it will stimulate you to still more frequent submissions of your original papers with results of scientific activity to our renowned journals. Don’t hesitate to visit the websites of our journals. Don’t hesitate to address any questions to the editorial offices of particular journals, please.

The cooperation of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) Congres 2021

On July 20-23, 2021, the XVI. Congress of the European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) took place (online format). The Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) was presented as one of the partners of the Congress. The presentation was focused on Agricultural Economics journal (AGRICECON) and dealt with the offer to publish the contributed papers of the Congress in AGRICECON.

The cooperation of the Congress with CAAS was presented by prof. Lukáš Čechura (member of the EAAE Organizing Committee and Chairman of the Department of Economy, Management, Sociology and Information Technology of CAAS). The participants of the Congress could visit the virtual exhibition of CAAS and AGRICECON, which offered information about CAAS journals in general with an emphasis on AGRICECON.

We would like to present you a document issued by the Steering Committee of the Union of European Academies for Science Applied to Agriculture, Food and Nature (UEAA), of which CAAS is also a member. The CAAS Board endorses an open letter to the UN, G-20, and national governments on COVID-19 and agriculture for food and nutrition security.

Scientific institutions in Europe, including the CAAS, do not consider it appropriate to limit the use of GMOs and research in this area. At present, the French Academy of Agriculture and the Union of European Academies for Science Applied to Agriculture, Food and Nature (UEAA) are active in this matter. The Czech Republic, represented by prof. Ing. Vilém Podrázský, CSc., Vice-chairman of the CAAS Board, is a member of the UEAA .

Their activities at European level are presented in the attached materials.
