BICABR 2006
Czech Republic, Brno: September 25 - October 1, 2006
(Brno International Conference on Applied Business Research)
The conference was organized by the Mendel University in Brno.

Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry in Brno can pride itself on the longest history of agriculture and forestry studies on the Czech lands. It was established in 1919. Its constitution completed the long-term effort to institute an agricultural university in Moravia, which has, from time immemorial, held an important post among the countries with the most developed agricultures in the central Europe. Since its establishment it has undergone a range of structural as well as curricular changes.
Mendel University in Brno is divided into four faculties. Faculty of Agronomy, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology and Faculty of Business and Economics are all located in Brno. Faculty of Horticulture is then located in Lednice. The total number of students enrolled at all four faculties is almost 8,500. The original education programme drew on the university's two main spheres of interest: agriculture and forestry. Nevertheless, over the time the programme significantly expanded. Steadily, new study programmes were introduced and consequently modified so that they better suited the needs of the university graduates.
The solution of the science and research tasks complies with the long-lasting prognosis and the scientific aims of the university and of the individual faculties, and covers the agricultural, forest, biological, economic and technical sciences. It is an open circle of scientific activities used in institutional research, in tenders of grant agencies, in research centers and in international research programmes. The research programme of MUAF in Brno follows on general level the trends in contemporary development of the fundamental scientific fields, particularly biology, and their application in agricultural, forest, horticultural and economic sciences. In practice it means intended management of biological processes, effective use of non-renewable natural sources and production of renewable ones while sustaining the present standard of multifunctional agriculture and business. The main interest lies largely in the quality and safety of the agricultural products, and foods in particular, in the context of ever-growing competition on the world agricultural market. In compliance with the outcomes of the common agricultural policy of EU, the university defines as its priority the topics concerning multifunctional agriculture and forestry and the implications of their production and outside production functions when shaping the landscape, and developing the countryside.
