The cerem in the Magna Aula of the historic building of Karolinum on 6th April 2018 The title was aw scientists for their outstanding lifelong scientific achievements and for a significant co development of research in collaboration with Charles University. Prof. Rolf-Dieter Heuer studied physics at the Universität Stuttgart and defended his doct Heidelberg University, where he continued to work as a member of the academic team. Throug he’s been involved in structure and use of large detection systems to study interactions b and positrons. From 1984-1998 he worked in senior positions at the European Organization f Research (CERN) in Geneva. In 2009 he became the Director-General of CERN and stayed in th 2015. Until 2009 he was the head the research department at the Universität Hamburg. Prof. many honorary degrees and major awards, including the Charles University memorial medal. Prof. Thomas Evan Levy is a world-renowned archaeologist at California University in San D devoted to archeology since high school and it became his life passion. Professor Levy has worked with the Czech Institute of Egyptology at the Faculty of Philoso University in the field of archaeology and contact between ancient Egypt and Syropalestine beginning of the 21st century. Levy’s research in the Wadi Feynan territory, where his exp discovered unique monuments dating to the period between 3000 BCE and 1000 BCE, has been a contribution to this field. The Czech Institute of Egyptology carries out work on markedly and Czech archaeological research in Abusir also offers significant parallels for Levy’s w East in the field of international trade and also in relation to the genesis of the first between 3000 BCE and 1000 BCE. “I collaborated with Prof. Heuer at CERN working on the LEP collider. Although each of us specifically on a different experiment, we jointly published a publication about the searc boson. The Higgs boson was discovered a decade later, when the LEP collider was replaced w performance LHC. Experts from Charles University and other Czech institutions then partici project along with Prof. Heuer. He was the Director of CERN at that time and he was decide in the success of LHC. I also had an opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Heuer within th The Czech community of particle physicists knows him as an outstanding expert and a kind p Rupert Leitner, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. Professor Levy’s career is far from ending; however, the summary of his scientific expedit conferences and awards is very extensive. His bibliography includes numerous studies, mono collections covering practically every topic of importance on Near East archaeology, start cultures of the period between 4000 BCE to 3000 BCE, through the topic of the Old Testamen Age. Levy’s archaeological research and scientific work has significantly affected and con several directions of research and has had a fundamental impact on a generation of scienti “I’ve been collaborating with Prof. Levy for a long time. I had the opportunity to give le University of California, while Prof. Levy did the same at Charles University. Recently, o with Prof. Levy focused on the theory of the punctuated equilibrium and its application in as archaeology, Egyptology, history, and last but not least, security studies,” said Miros Director, Czech Institute of Egyptology.
