Abstract: The public perception of science does not belong to frequently discussed issues in the Czech Republic. Forty years of the hegemony of the communist regime slowed off the development of science and made any effort of the public to give opinion of science and technology impossible. Communication between the public and experts did not exist. In this paper we sould like to inform about the current legislation and regulations in the field of biotechnology in our country, the public attitude to these problems and institutions and organisations that occupy themselves with biotechnology. Finally, we give an overview of international and national surveys, analysing the public perception of biotechnologies. |
