Eduard Kučera (Avast), Martin Wichterle (Wikov), the economist Pavel Kysilka and Taťána le Moigne (Google) have taken up the position of founders of the fund, the Neuron Founders. The new founders are joined by Monika Vondráková, who is also chair of the administrative board and has run the fund since it was founded in 2010. "The Neuron Endowment Fund has eight years of successful work behind it. We believe that with these new figures Czech science gains in the Neuron Endowment Fund an even stronger partner that helps raise its prestige in society. The fund also has new figures on its administrative board: Dita Stejskalová (Ogilvy) looks after communication strategy at the fund and Michal Pěchouček (Czech Technical University) will be responsible for cooperation between business and science with the aim of supporting the emergence of innovations with international potential. A member of the administrative board and at the same time the long-standing chair of the Scientific Board of the Neuron Endowment Fund, which is the guarantee of the highest scientific expertise, is Pavel Hobza, a renowned Czech chemist and the most cited Czech scientist.
