introduction
This yearbook for 2013 describes the life of the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds
in the Environment (hereafter the “RECETOX Centre”) in its fourth year of existence. The RECETOX Centre operating within the Faculty of Science, Masaryk
University, Brno, Czech Republic, was established on March 1, 2010, with support
of the CETOCOEN project (no. CZ.1.05/2.1.00/01.0001) from the European Regional
Development Fund, Operational Programme “Research and Development for
Innovations”, Priority Axis 2 (OP RDI). However, RECETOX Centre activities follow
up on those of its predecessors: the Department of Formation and Protection of the
Environment established in November 1983, transformed into the Research Centre
for Chemistry and Ecotoxicology in 1994. A chronological list of events that have
influenced current state and situation of the RECETOX Centre from 1983 onwards is
provided in Annex to this yearbook.
The 2013 marked a milestone in the life of the RECETOX Centre for several reasons.
One of them was the 30th anniversary of establishment of its predecessors, a good opportunity to celebrate and to meet. Therefore,
we organized the regular bi-annual international conference Ovzduší on the aspects and
monitoring of the atmosphere. We welcomed
2013 was a good year
the former colleagues and research partners
in a special Open Door Day and celebrated the
anniversary at the 4th traditional dance gala
of the RECETOX Centre. Last but not least, the
RECETOX Centre stepped into the new, fourth decade under the new direction. Longterm director of the RECETOX Centre Prof. Ivan Holoubek was replaced by Prof. Jana
Klánová in September 2013.
In addition, 2013 was the final year of the implementation of the CETOCOEN project.
It was necessary to fulfil all its research and realization commitments and frame up
the best conditions for the Centre’s sustainability in the forthcoming five-year term.
In connection with the CETOCOEN project termination, the RECETOX Centre stood
up successfully in international evaluations. Moreover, the first of the Operational
Programme Education for Competitiveness projects aimed at improving the quality of
teaching and several research projects under the 7th EU Framework Programme (FP7)
was also closing this year.
Whenever anything ends, something new begins and one needs to be prepared for
it. Improving quality of research as well as international reputation of the RECETOX
Centre is depending on the quality of its scientific as well as supporting teams. A project SOMOPRO provided the opportunity to start his own research career to one international scientist and project OP EC supporting new talented post-docs at the Masaryk
University brought three new international researchers to the Centre. Furthermore,
project Solutions, the tenth FP7 EU research and development project, was approved at
the end of 2013. Nevertheless, the five-year long project of the National Sustainability
Programme allocation was the most important project proposal achievement.
Researchers succeeded to publish their research results in prestigious international
journals (including two articles in the Chemical Reviews, the top journal in our
field) throughout the year managed as well as transfer them further to potential
users. Another contract research commissioned by the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) to build a global electronic database and a web portal for second
worldwide collection of data on persistent organic pollutants in the environment was
a major success. Furthermore, the Centre launched a new internet portal on South
Moravian data from the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood
(ELSPAC) in 2013, a year after taking over the responsibility of the study.

Organizational Structure and
Management of the Centre
The RECETOX Centre is an independent department of the Faculty of Science, Masaryk
University. Its current organizational structure with the integrated management structure shows organigramme in Annex 1.
Director of the RECETOX Centre is its top representative. Her responsibilities and rights
are laid down by the Statute and Organizational Rules of the Faculty of Science Masaryk
University. She is responsible in particular for a long-term strategy of the RECETOX
Centre, human resources policy, quality of education and research and housekeeping/
financial management. She directs the Centre with assistance of the Executive Board
consisting of her deputies for education, research, finance, technical and administrative
operations, coordinator of the research infrastructure and director of application (national and regional) centres. Composition of the Executive Board is provided in Annex 1.
The scientific activities of the Centre are carried out in twelve
working groups collaborating within the framework
of four research programmes:
1. Environmental Chemistry and Modelling
2. Organic Photochemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry
3. Protein Engineering
4. Ecotoxicology
At present, the Centre is composed of four research programmes, three core facilities of
the research infrastructure, and two application bodies, in line with its Organizational
Rules. All research and application units are supported by the Centre’s well-established
effective and efficient management team.
Research programme leaders are members of another advisory body to the RECETOX
Centre Director – the Kolegium. This body meets in both standard and extended form
throughout the year. Composition of the Kolegium in its both forms is provided in
Annex 1.
State of the art research infrastructure is effectively distributed
among research teams; in addition, some infrastructure has been
centralized in three core facilities:
1. Trace Analytical Laboratories
2. GENASIS information system
3. Epidemiological database of the ELSPAC longitudinal study
RECETOX research infrastructure has been included in the Czech Roadmap of Large
Infrastructures for Research, Development and Innovation endorsed by the Czech government in 2010. The infrastructure provides support to the RECETOX research programmes,
performs own research projects, as well as it is also openly accessible to the external
research community, both nationally and internationally.
RECETOX also serves as the National Centre for Toxic Compounds and the Stockholm
Convention Regional Centre for Capacity-building and the Transfer of Technology. As
such, these two units of the RECETOX Centre use outputs from research teams and
infrastructure to facilitate collaboration with stakeholders from governments to industry
in order to transform our research into practical applications and make the best and most
effective use of both the instrumental and human capacity of the Centre.

Financial Resources
Span and structure of financial resources for the RECETOX Centre over the 2009-2013
is shown in figure 1 below (current assets only). The current assets attained 180 million
CZK in 2013; this is over three times higher in comparison with 2009. The increase
in budgets from 2010 onwards is linked to the implementation of the OP RDI project
CETOCOEN and of two OP Education for Competitiveness (OP EC) projects. The Figure
1 also demonstrates that the OP projects are responsible for only just about a half of the
increase; the other half is linked to the increased effectiveness in mobilizing funding
from other sources. A part of the current assets from OP RDI is also a current asset for
the construction of the RECETOX Centre’s pavilion and of its equipment; that, however, is one-off cost that will not be repeated in coming years. In addition, capital assets
would need to be added to the current assets; the capital assets ranged 100-200 million
CZK per year during the implementation of the OP RDI project (and were predominantly spent on construction and equipment of the RECETOX Centre pavilion).

Figure 1 Financial resources of the RECETOX Centre in 2009–2013 (in CZK, current assets only)
Structure of financial resources of the RECETOX Centre in 2013 shows that almost
24.6 million CZK came from the educational support for providing courses and teaching. Additional 6.3 million CZK of the institutional support was for a specific research
of Ph.D. students. Institutional support for research programmes reached 40.9 mil CZK
and, consequently, the total institutional support attained over 70 million CZK in 2013.
Additional 44 million CZK were mobilized from the specific project funding and from
contract research; i.e. 24 million CZK were provided through national projects
(7 million CZK for the development of the research infrastructure), 12 million CZK
from international projects, 3.5 million CZK from national contract research and
4.6 million CZK from international contract research. Due to the character of our
research, the contract research funding comes mainly from the public sector funding
sources.
With regard to the structure of the resources apart from operational programmes,
there were 62% of institutional support, 20% of national and 10% international project
funding and 8% contract research. Specific funding from national and international
projects ratio reached 2:1 and for contract research 1:1 between national and international contract research. Current assets from OP RDI project reached 55.9 million CZK
and human resources support reached 17.7 mil CZK from the resources of the OP EC
(OPVK) projects.

Utilization of the
RECETOX Research
Infrastructure in 2013
Approximately 20% of the capacity of the
RECETOX research infrastructure has been
made available to the external users; majority
of those users are from abroad. They are from
the institutions cooperating with the RECETOX
Centre over a longer term in the implementation
of international research projects, but also from
new institutions, industry partners, and national
or regional authorities.
A total of 29 requests for access to RECETOX
research infrastructure were submitted in 2013.
Based on the assessment of the intended scientific added value, time and finance allocation
needed to cover access to the infrastructure, 75%
of the requests received approval. In 2013, the
RECETOX research infrastructure hosted
22 researchers (19 international ones) who have
spent 28.95 man months in the Centre. 90% of
them were from the universities and 10% from
the research institutions.
Additional 19 students working on their paper
for bachelor degree, 53 students finalizing their
master’s degree and 85 students performing
research for their doctoral theses used RECETOX
research infrastructure in 2013; 24 out of
85 Ph.D. students work on their collaborative
Ph.D.; they perform it in combined studies
as they are simultaneously a student in the
RECETOX Centre and a staff of the third party
organization (application sector).
The research infrastructure organized 10 conferences, workshops and seminars in 2013; 6 of
these were international events. These events
have drawn almost 380 people to the RECETOX
Centre; both international and Czech users. A
full list of events organized by RECETOX Centre
is in Annex 7.

Human Resources
In 2013, there were 154 employees within the
120.05 full time equivalents, FTE, available. Their
average age was 34.5 years. Full list of RECETOX
Centre staff is in Annex 2.
As shown in Figure 2, there were 22 (16.4 FTE)
academic staff: 9 (6.6 FTE) professors, 6 (4.8 FTE)
associate professors and 7 (5 FTE) assistant professors. Researchers are supported by 18 (17.5 FTE)
technical staff in the research infrastructure or
individual research programmes and by 20
(19.3 FTE) project, economic support, administrative and technical support staff, including management. Therefore, a total of 38 staff
(36.8 FTE) provides support to the research
representing of a third of all FTEs. Furthermore,
there are 94 researchers in the Centre consisting
of 22 long term staff (11.8 FTE), 25 post-doc fellows
(24 FTE) and 47 Ph.D. students with a part time

Figure 3 provides a long-term (five-year long)
development in the staff size that is caused by implementation of increasing number of European
operational programme projects and international
projects. It is plausible to see a continued high
share of international staff at present. In 2013,
21% of all posts are international staff as shown in
detail in Figures 3 and 4. We are happy to see this
share continuously increasing when expressed
as quantity of research positions held by international staff. It has done that for last 5 years – 3, 6, 7,
13, 22% respectively 2008–2012 and they represent
29% in 2013.

The management of the RECETOX Centre systematically creates conditions and possibilities for
further development of its employees based on
their individual career plans.
The increase in expertise of both junior and
senior research staff is also supported within
programmes for international mobility used for
study/research visits to top international institutes. The RECETOX Centre can use the following
instruments: Operation Programme Education for
Competitiveness (OPVK), AMVIS/KONTAKT projects that support collaboration with universities
in USA (3 projects), and Marie Curie Fellowships
(1 project), COST programme or DBU or SCIEX
scholarships within the EU. All these funding
sources provide financial support for travel and
research stays abroad to work with leading scientific teams. Moreover, attracting international
scientists or re-integration of the Czech scientists
from abroad is supported by South Moravian
region through SoMoPro grants; RECETOX holds
3 projects in 2013.
A total of 198 research trips and study visits took
place abroad in 2013 (97 staff of the RECETOX
Centre).

transfer of expertise to students also in relation to the needs of the work market. 25 courses (both
courses and seminars) were innovated; seminars and discussion with professionals in various fields
are included into the curricula as well as excursions and study visits. Curricula was broadened by
12 new courses that fill the gaps and introduce interdisciplinary and practical environmental related
courses such as sustainable development, environmental management, policy and legislation, life
cycle assessment, waste management, remediation technologies and environmental data management/assessment/processing. All innovations took place in a close cooperation with 8 partners and
experts from various fields – national authorities, research institutions, industry, private sector and
non-governmental organizations and civil society groups. They all create living platform for environmental education. Innovation of the curricula increased education quality for about
1000 students of the Faculty of Science.
In addition, the RECETOX Centre published five new textbooks and 6 laboratory practice manuals.
Their list is given in Annex 5.
Work with Talented Students
An inextricable part of the RECETOX Centre’s educational activities is a systematic support for and
cooperation with talented secondary school students. This proceeded in 2013 as well by Course on
Research Linking Experimental problems (50 students), ViBuCh – Scientific e-course for Future
Chemists (15 students) and in a number of excursions for secondary schools from all over the Czech
Republic in our laboratories throughout whole 2013 (200 students).
Moreover, RECETOX has also prepared and provided activities and events for general public through
open door days, science festivals, contests, discussion evenings (Science Café, Science Slam,

Contract Research in 2013
RECETOX has held 32 contract research projects (11 international and
21 national) in 2013. International projects were granted by 8 partners,
while national projects had 18 providers of funding; both types of
contracts drew funding from the application sector (industry, regional
authorities, and global enterprises/organizations).
A detailed overview of contract research is provided in Annex 4. Results of
contract research are provided in technical reports as shown in Annex 5 or
in the form of laboratory results (protocols). The most significant contract
research projects in 2013 were ambient air monitoring project in Africa
and project developing software tool for visualization and interpretation
of the global data under the Global Monitoring Plan of the Stockholm
Convention of POPs.
When discussing contracts with the application sphere, two units of
RECETOX were instrumental – the National Centre for Toxic Compounds
and the Stockholm Convention Regional Centre for Capacity Building and
the Transfer of Technology.
Experts of the Centre have been invited to assist with a number of projects
identifying the scope of environmental contamination, and designing
appropriate national framework and laboratory infrastructure, and have
been consulted for practical solutions for environmental decontamination
and remediation. They lectured in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Ghana,
Turkey and Ukraine and in other countries, in 2013. Traditional international summer school on toxic compounds had 30 participants from
18 countries. Its 9th year focused on biomonitoring and total amount of the
summer school graduates that have enrolled the training is 368 participants since 2005.
Experts of the Centre undertook 30 trips abroad to provide capacity building and transfer of knowledge in other countries during 2013
RECETOX Centre has signed several agreements on cooperation in
2013 – with the Environmental Company, Sao Paulo, Brazil (CETESB)
on implementation of the Stockholm Convention on POPs, with Slovak
Medical University, Bratislava and University College London on longterm cooperation on epidemiological studies. In addition, agreement with
the National Institute of Public Health on biomonitoring and consortia

Figure 9.
Figure 8 shows the final two years of the former
Centre for Research in Environmental Chemistry
and Ecotoxicology and the continuity up to now;
it shows that the quantity of articles/papers in the
international high impact journals has increased
by half in recent years. Furthermore, the cumulative IF value reached the historically highest value
in 2013. In addition, it is about three times larger
than that observed in first three years of the
depicted period. Finally, average IF/paper value
Based on additional information, 61% of RECETOX
Centre’s publications were prepared in cooperation with a partner institution; for 49% of
publications it was a university from abroad, for
other 32% it was a foreign research institution. In
addition, more than 70% of publications were prepared in cooperation with more than one partner
institution. All of the above demonstrates the solid
integration of the Centre within the international
research community and research networks.
In the evaluation of scientific outputs according
to the RVVI methodology (RIV database points)
the RECETOX Centre gained 15730 points in last
five years; this amount represents about 16.7% of
the total performance of the Faculty of Science,
Masaryk University. Table 2 shows contributions
to the overall value by the leading RECETOX
authors.
Overview of the publication outputs by the leading authors of the Centre in 2013 is provided in

Social and Environmental
Responsibility
The RECETOX Centre cares about society,
environment and current events.
We employed 21 mothers of preschool children (mainly as researchers) in 2013. Job with us
comprises maximum flexibility in scheduling working hours and workload and thus enables
their smooth return to work after maternity leave. Support of 170 000 CZK to cover three posts
was provided by the Operational Programme Employment Human Resources (OP HRE) in
2013. Additional 335 000 CZK are available for the further project period.
We held a traditional Christmas charity collection associated with the auction of RECETOX
children’s pictures depicting laboratories. The collected amount of CZK 8000 was donated to
mothers and children in need through a civil society organization in Brno “Na Počátku”.
Moreover the staff of the Centre organized a voluntary fundraising for our long-term collaborator whose house was severely damaged by water after the floods in June 2013.
Our support is not limited to
the Czech Republic territory.
We have introduced microalgae biotechnology optimized for the local conditions for environmentally sound waste water treatment in Namibia, Ghana and South Africa in 2013.
Microalgae successfully remove pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and estrogens from water as their
food. In addition, they do not produce greenhouse gases and methane, but rather consume the
CO2 and also clean the wastewaters cheaper than conventional technologies used in wastewater treatment plants.
The African continent was the only inhabited continent without active sampling for toxic
chemicals in ambient air. Therefore, the RECETOX Centre donated two modern instruments
for active air sampling to collaborating institutions in Kenya and Ghana including training in
the summer of 2013. Both instruments have already been put into operation.
We actively participate in the green transportation. We hold a DHL certificate on compensation
for the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions from transport in 2013.
RECETOX in the media
Positive media response to scientific, research and educational activities of the RECETOX
Centre is regular and quite frequent appearance of our leading researchers therein, especially
in the Czech Television, as shown in Annex 6. In 2013, there were 8 TV broadcasts on our
Centre and 14 feature articles published the printed and Internet media outside the home page
of RECETOX Centre. In addition, home page of the RECETOX Centre published over 80 short
articles on our activities and events in the news section.

Evaluation
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic has organized an
international evaluation of the RECETOX Centre in connection with the finalization of the
OP RDI CETOCOEN project in June 2013. The international expert panel had for one week
to talk to the director, top management, staff and students of the RECETOX Centre and
visit all the newly built premises. The final evaluation was very favourable for the Centre;
it stated that the RECETOX Centre is the establishment at the level comparable to those at
the international level.
There were also internal evaluations. Since 2013, the RECETOX Centre has a new internal
Motivation Rules, which set the rules for evaluation and financial motivations of researchers. Research outputs of the individual working groups are also reflected in the budgetary
policy of the RECETOX Centre.
Several university departments of environmental research in Europe of a similar size and
scope have been selected in order to evaluate and benchmark the quality of the RECETOX
Centre’s research with comparable institutions. The following institutions in the Western
Europe that are at the same time prime in environmental science matched the criteria:
Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) of the Lancaster University, UK; Department of
Applied Environmental Chemistry (ITM) of the Stockholm University, Sweden; Institute
for Environmental Studies (IVM), Vrie University, Netherlands, and RWTH, Aachen
University, Germany. All institutions were compared in the following categories: total
amount of employees, quantity of academic staff, quantity of researchers with completed
Ph.D., quantity of technical and support staff, and quantity of Ph.D. students. These
parameters are compared in Table 4.
Table 5 provides overview of the research output of the Centre classified by total amount
of publications in the database Web of Science, quantity of their citations, average citation
count per publication and h-index. The most significant comparison criteria, nevertheless, seem to be publications normalized per number of the research staff, i.e. the average
amount of publications and of citations per researcher in the last 5 years.
Results of such benchmarking show that the Centre, with its average of 1 publication per
researcher per year, provides a comparable output to the best European institutions with
their average between 0.6–2 publications per year per researcher. The Centre lags behind
more significantly just in the category of citations per researcher per year (6 for RECETOX
Centre) in comparison to others (12–17); however, it needs to be noted that publication
outputs show a delay of several years. The RECETOX Centre has increased its size by a
factor of 3 in the last five years, but publication outputs of its current large team will fully
appear in the databases and will become comparable only within next two years.
Best Research Outputs of the Centre
The table 6 shows the top 10 research results of the RECETOX Centre published in renowned international scientific journals over last five years (2009–2013). In all cases, a
researcher from RECETOX was the first author and/or the corresponding author substantially contributing to the research outcome and publication. The table also describes the
quality of all publications in the form of the impact factor (IF) and the percentile, defining
in percentage the ranking of the journal within its own scientific field. The last column
shows the number of citations for each paper. However, it has to be noted that the papers
are relatively new, which limits the number of possible citations to date, to certain extent.
Table 7 provides further comparison of the best scientific researchers in RECETOX Centre.
The table provides their overall performance since the beginning of the scientific career
and a more concise summary of outputs within the last five years 2009–2013.

Conclusions
Year 2014 means the beginning of the five-year period of
sustainability for the RECETOX Centre and we have high
expectations from that time. It is the period in which we
will capitalize on all previous investments. We have a new
facility, modern instrumentation, international team, and
large and broad cooperation network. We are not short
in resources either: we received a National Sustainability
Program project, and new projects from FP7, Czech Science
Foundation (GACR), US cooperation AMVIS as well as
SoMoPro grants. We look forward to a period where we
build and move less but rather focus more on research,
education, and students.
Nevertheless, further development of the human resources
is our key challenge. We will use all available opportunities to bring new talents to the RECETOX Centre. It is also
necessary to look for additional possibilities of and sources
for international cooperation including promoting international mobility of the Czech researchers and create conditions for the study visits of our staff at the institutions,
universities and organizations abroad.
Should RECETOX Centre continue its successful mission so
far, it cannot stand still. It is a high time to think on a prospective development of the research in the next decades,
on which directions and fields and to decide what areas to
explore. In addition, we expect new calls to the programming period of the EU Structural Funds in 2014. Horizon
2020, new programme supporting European research
and development, is a big challenge and its first calls have
already been announced. We will
prepare a new research infrastructure project and will take
part in the preparation of a large
international infrastructure
project. Moreover, additional
project proposal calls under
the EEA and Norway Grants,
Czech Scientific Foundation
(GACR), Technological Agency
of the Czech Republic and other
programmes are expected in
2014. All the above bring new opportunities for further
development of our research activities in response to current social needs.
There are a number
of forthcoming
challenges, but 2014
will be a good year.
Last but not least, Trace Analytical Laboratories accreditation should be completed and new version of the environmental information system GENASIS will be launched,
both in early 2014. Internationally, a new global system for
collection, management and visualization of data from the
Global Monitoring Plan of the Stockholm Convention on
Persistent Organic Pollutants will bring its first results and
the existing ELSPAC database and its interactive portal will
be updated, broadened and re-launched.
