clause 3.2
1) Šilerová-Pešl, L. Německé “Kulturorchester”: struktura; organizace; financování (German
“Kulturorchester”: Structure; Organization; Financing) (Zlín: VerBuM, 2017. ISBN 978-80-
87500-91-0). A monograph that, after the lecture for the general meeting of ASOPS
(Association of Symphonic Orchestras and Choirs of the Czech Republic), served as the basis
for a discussion at the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, which led to a change in the
characteristics of the job roles of orchestra players in 2018. Thus it was possible to transfer
most of the symphonic orchestra players – professional groups to the highest salary classes
(tutti players – class 12, 1st players – class 13, concert masters – class 14), which significantly
improved their working conditions
2) Preparation of university adaptation to the needs of culture and creative industries (2016;
financed by a grant of the Ministry of Education in cooperation with 13 other Czech
universities, supervisor on behalf of JAMU FM: Šilerová, L.). The project was initiated and
prepared by Palacký University Olomouc. The project followed in the existing activities
focused on the culture and creative industries. The project outputs were aimed at supporting
graduates' employment by mapping the CCI at the level of the South Moravian Region and
then an analysis of the curricula of the universities involved based on courses related to CCI
and creating a proposal for innovations of the current courses.
