About us
Leadership Academy for Researchers is a joint initiative created to help scientists grow, connect and build an open research culture in the Czech Republic.
STAR Cluster
South of Prague, the STAR region brings together research centers, companies, public institutions and investors to create an innovative ecosystem where science meets business and society.
STAR Cluster has been part of this story for more than ten years, gaining experience in connecting institutions, supporting innovation and education, and fostering regional development. We have joined forces with the HiLASE Centre and Czexpats in Science, combining local expertise, scientific excellence, educational experience and international know-how.
Our goal is clear: to build a trusted platform offering educational and community activities for researchers at every career stage. Because while laboratories and institutions matter, it is people who truly drive change.
