MODULE 3 SOCIAL RELEVANCE
SOCIAL RELEVANCE / SOCIAL BENEFIT OF THE EVALUATED UNIT1
3.1 General self-assessment of the social benefit of R&D&I in the fields of research at the
evaluated unit, and of the evaluated unit as a whole
The evaluated unit gives a concise, general but informative account of the benefit of R&D&I in the
fields in the 2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
The Faculty of Music of JAMU (hereinafter also referred to as the FoM or FM) intensively fulfils both
the basic missions of universities, i.e. educational and creative activities. The primary focus of
creative activities is artistic activities, which are carried out by a wide range of activities –
interpretation, composition, conducting, opera direction, music production, etc., in the form of
concert performances (orchestral, chamber, solo), creation of music and multimedia works, opera
performances, etc., both by students as part of their education and by teachers, who in most cases
are active artists and often are among the most important art personalities in their fields in the
Czech and international context. The research activities at the FoM constitute a fully-fledged part of
artistic activity, which is reflected and analysed both from the point of view of traditional scientific
(musicological, artistic) approach and from the point of view of artistic research.
At the FoM, we consider art itself to be a peculiar kind of research activity, as it is also characterised
by a desire to get to know the world in a creative way and to seek new, creative and original
solutions to problems. For teachers and students of the FoM, artistic creation means both basic and
applied research because the creative search is inseparably linked with its use and application:
presentation to viewers or listeners. However, Methodology 17+ does not reflect and acknowledge
this attitude, and thus reduces the creative activities at the FoM to a purely scientific area.
Nevertheless, both of these elements of creative activities, which are intensively linked to
pedagogical work at the FoM, create high social benefits and are also rewarded by society.
At the FoM, reflection on the phenomenon of music (FORD 60403) is intensively developed in its
broad contexts, including interdisciplinary overlaps, with an emphasis on basic research, i.e.
documentation and interpretation, not applied research. Particularly in the field of musicology
research, the main social benefit is the presentation of results to the general public (in the form of
published outputs – monographs, studies in professional journals or conference papers
subsequently published in anthologies, etc.), thus strengthening the general awareness of the value
of Czech as well as European cultural heritage. The FoM also contributes to the development of the
musical culture of the city, the region and the whole country in the field of research. Research into
another area – music management/music production (in addition to the above-mentioned
contribution) significantly contributes to the streamlining of specific processes of music
management throughout the country (see below). Research in the field of composition has
numerous overlaps in the field of electroacoustics or audio-engineering; the results of basic research
have considerable potential for application (special software, application of theoretical principles
e.g. in the field of cybernetics, mathematics or physics on compositional methods stimulating the
creation and public presentation of specific works of art, etc.). Research at the FoM also includes
research in the field of foreign languages (Department of Foreign Languages), whose social
contribution lies in the production of a number of publication outputs devoted to the application of
specific musical and cultural linguistic issues in the context of a foreign language environment
(English, German). Increasing attention is paid at the FoM to the presentation of the results of
1 In accordance with Section 22(1) of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education Institutions and on Amendments to Some
Other Acts (the Higher Education Act), as amended.
3
Self-evaluation Report Form
artistic research as a full-fledged part of research, including their maximum use for social benefit. An
integral part of the social contribution of the research at the FoM includes popularisation activities;
the results of research are, for example, organically applied to lecture series intended for the
general public – the University of the Third Age.
The FoM strives to implement its research outputs in line with the open access strategy.

APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS
3.2 Applied research projects2
The evaluated unit presents a maximum of the five most significant (from the perspective of
evaluated unit) applied research projects in the 2014–2018 reporting period from the complete list
in the appendix (tables 3.2.1 and 3.2.2), particularly with regard to the results achieved or a
project’s potential for application.
2 Under Section 2(1)(b) of Act No. 130/2002 Coll., applied research is theoretical and experimental work aimed at gaining new
knowledge and skills for the developing of new or substantially improved products, processes or services; applied research
includes industrial research or experimental development, or a combination of both. Under Article 2 of Commission Regulation
(EU) No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in application of
Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty, industrial research means planned research or critical investigation aimed at the acquisition
of new knowledge and skills for developing new products, processes or services, or for bringing about a significant improvement
in existing products, processes or services. It comprises the creation of component parts of complex systems, and may include
the construction of prototypes in a laboratory environment or in an environment with simulated interfaces to existing systems as
well as of pilot lines, when necessary for the industrial research and notably for generic technology validation; experimental
development means acquiring, combining, shaping and using existing scientific, technological, business and other relevant
knowledge and skills with the aim of developing new or improved products, processes or services. This may also include, for
example, activities aiming at the conceptual definition, planning and documentation of new products, processes or services.

Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
At the FoM, artistic creation itself is perceived as a specific form of applied research, as it carries the
fundamental essence of application overlap – the transmission of the results of creative work to a
broad society. The character of the FoM as an art educational institution creates a parallel to applied
research by its artistic creative activities, which form a cultural value of the whole society, realised
by concert operation for the general public (links below), preparation of top music artists and
teachers, etc. Applied research, narrowly and traditionally understood, rather complements a wide
range of creative activities that are commensurate with the basic mission of the FoM and that
establish the significance of the FoM in fulfilling the third role.
Although in the reporting period, due to the specifics described in clause 3.1, almost no applied
research projects were implemented at the FoM (in the Methodology-required narrow meaning of
the term), some basic research outputs also had significant potential for application. Although there
are relatively few applied research projects (as defined in clause 3.2) at the FoM in terms of the
monitored criteria, in the context of the institution’s functioning and the interconnection of
research with other creative activities, the FoM is both qualitatively successful and quantitatively
efficient in this field.

3.3 Contract research3
The evaluated unit briefly comments on revenues from contract research for the 2014–2018
reporting period from the complete list in the appendix (tables 3.3.1 and 3.3.2).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specific focus of the research at the FoM (see clause 3.1), contract research was not
carried out at the institution in the reporting period.
However, the principle of interconnecting the activities of the institution with the private sector
works at the FoM in the form of cooperation of a number of teachers and students with numerous
public ensembles, orchestras, choral ensembles, chamber ensembles, jazz bands; cooperation with
radio or television in making recordings; or by involving many FoM academics in music
management, production and organisational activities in the implementation of music festivals,
individual opera, concert and theatre performances, etc. – and in this sense, the FoM achieves a
very high level of excellence.
3 For a definition of contract research for the purposes of evaluation in the universities sector, see Article 2.2.1 of the Community
framework for State aid for research and development and innovation (2014/C 198/01).

3.4 Revenues from non-public sources (besides grants or contract research) from research work
The evaluated unit briefly comments on revenues for the 2014–2018 reporting period for R&D&I
from non-public sources, besides grants or contract research (e.g. licences sold, spin-off revenues,
gifts, etc.). It presents a complete list in the appendix (table 3.4.1).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specific focus of research at the FoM (see clause 3.1), proceeds from non-public sources
for research activities at the institution were not obtained in the reporting period, as such activities
are not practically feasible at an art educational institution of the FoM type (and, in this sense, their
evaluation is thus very difficult) and, therefore, it is not the faculty’s ambition to develop them.
The FoM’s priority creative activity is art, which is considered equivalent to scientific exploration of
the world, and in this field the FoM receives funds from non-public sources: from viewers and
listeners, who pay admission to the FoM concerts and performances, and individuals and
commercial institutions, who appreciate the qualities of the FoM teachers by ordering their
performances. However, the conversion of these activities into economic profit is not considered by
the FoM as an activity that is a priority for further development.

APPLIED RESEARCH RESULTS
3.5 Applied research results with an existing or prospective economic impact on society
The evaluated unit briefly comments on a maximum of the five most significant (from the
perspective of the evaluated unit) applied research results that have already been applied in
practice, or that will realistically be applied, in the 2014–2018 reporting period from the overview in
the appendix (table 3.5.1).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specific focus of research at the FoM, its results do not have a direct (existing or
potential) economic impact on society. However, the value of the social impact of the FoM’s
creative activities is determined by the specific features described in the previous clauses. Hence, if
the criteria for assessing the application impact of the FoM’s creative activities are conceived in the
above sense, the FoM is strongly progressive and successful in this field. Evaluating the quality of the
creative activities of teachers and students of the FoM (including research) according to the
economic impact, however, is in fact contrary to the mission of the institution, since its essence lies
in developing the talent of students and music culture in general, not generating financial gain.
Evaluation in this respect is thus not applicable to the parameters of the FoM.

6
Self-evaluation Report Form
one on society in the 2014–2018 reporting period (typically results from disciplines in the
humanities and social sciences) from the overview in the appendix (table 3.6.1).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specific focus of research at the FoM (see clause 3.1), these are not the results of
primarily applied research, but the potential for application linked to the results of basic research.
The results below represent excellent outputs with a significant impact on a wider social sphere and
significant potential for a successful fulfilment of the institution’s third role. More detailed
annotations and comments on the individual outputs are given in the appendix.

In the concept of the FoM, art is an equal partner of scientific knowledge of the world and is a
specific combination of basic and applied research. From this point of view, the social contribution
of creative activities of the FoM academics is extraordinary, since both students and teachers and
the school in general are among the most important co-creators of Czech and world music culture
with a noticeable impact on its development.

COOPERATION WITH THE NON-ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
3.7 The evaluated unit’s most significant interactions with the non-academic
application/corporate sphere
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of the most typical users of its outputs. It explains
whether and how it identifies them and how it works with them. It provides examples of a
maximum of ten of the most significant interactions with the non-academic environment in the
2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
Due to the above-described specifics of the institution and different types of results, the FoM’s
interactions with the non-university application sphere are executed primarily in terms of social
impact and fulfilment of the institution’s third role.
The non-university application sphere for the FoM includes primarily music ensembles and generally
the area of participation in the implementation of music life, since the FoM students, graduates and
teachers are active artists often working as independent entrepreneurs. For a list of institutions with
which the FoM staff cooperate – see the appendix.
A typical user of the results of the FoM’s creative research and artistic activities is the music
community consisting of professional performers, composers, conductors, opera directors,
musicologists, music producers, etc.; and the general public interested in music and culture. In this
area, the FoM is extremely successful and respected globally, as evidenced, among other things, by
the interest of foreign students in studying at the FoM, and the interest in participating in our music
competitions and courses. See the appendix for details.

3.8 System and support of technology transfer and intellectual property protection
(can be extended to the whole university, emphasising the specific features of the evaluated unit)
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of its system of technology transfer. It conducts an
evaluation of the quality of its applied research and the effectiveness of technology transfer using
the data presented in the appendix (table 3.5.1). This commentary will highlight the number of filed
and granted patents (Czech and international) and licences sold.
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specific characteristics of the FoM described above, technology transfer was not carried
out at the institution in the reporting period, as our dominant types of outputs are different from
patents and licences.
The copyright of teachers and students in the case of their extracurricular work is protected through
representation by the Czech collective copyright manager, the Performing and Mechanical Rights
Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, otherwise known as OSA (if a teacher or student asks
OSA to represent him/her and OSA accepts the representation based on the submitted documents).
As regards school works, especially in the field of multimedia composition, conducting and opera
direction, to which the school contributes financially and organisationally, these are so-called school
works that are subject to special regulations on the possibilities of their use, given by the internal
regulations of JAMU.
The creation of technologies (ipso facto their transfer) or patents is not the output of the creative
activities of an art institution; considering the fact that the main focus of the FoM in the field of
science and research is the reflection and analysis of artistic creation and the phenomenon of art (in
the widest possible contexts), the main outputs include the knowledge presented in specialised
publications – monographs, articles in professional journals, anthologies or active presentations at
conferences. The number of monographs published at the FoM ranged around 5-7 items per year in
the reporting period, which represents a highly above-standard number given the approximately 10-
15 employees who are engaged in scientific creative activities at the FoM. See the list of our
monographs. The institution also has a long-term high production of specialised lecture notes. Thus,
the evaluation criteria in Module III are directly linked to the results reported in Modules I and II, i.e.
in the so-called Information Register of R&D Results, in which Czech research institutions report and
record the results of their research activities; in this area the FoM can be considered an
exceptionally efficient and high-quality institution, but according to the prescribed methodology
these activities should not be evaluated by the International Evaluation Panel – which the FoM
considers to be a major deficiency of the methodology, as foreign evaluators are thus unable to
assess our research activities comprehensively and as a whole.
8
Self-evaluation Report Form
Taking into account the specifics of the FoM, a parallel to technology transfer is the education of top
music artists, who subsequently create and transmit values of artistic and cultural character in
practice. Likewise, the mediation of creative – scientific, artistic or popularising activities for the
general public (or the narrower professional public) constitutes a case of transfer sui generis.

3.9 Strategy for setting up and support of spin-off firms or other forms of commercialisation of
R&D&I results (can be extended to the whole university, emphasising the specific features of the
evaluated unit)
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of the practical use of its intellectual property in the form
of setting up spin-off firms or other forms of commercialising R&D&I results (both with or without
the participation of the university) established by the evaluated unit (university), another entity
controlled by the evaluated unit (university), or an employee4
of the evaluated unit, presenting the
model for their functioning and coordination, and control of intellectual property management of
the evaluated unit (university).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specific focus of research at the FoM (see clause 3.1), spin-off firms were not set up or
supported, nor were the results of the FoM research commercialised in the reporting period. One of
the main outputs of research at the FoM – specialised monographs are sold at a price covering
production costs. The FoM, on the other hand, seeks to maintain public and open access for the
general public to the results of creative activities as a general spiritual and cultural asset. Their
greater commercialisation would be contrary to the institution’s basic mission.
Due to the specifics of the FoM, the activities described in clauses 3.3, 3.4, 3.7 and 3.8 represent a
parallel to the establishment of spin-off firms. “Spin-off firms” of the art university are artistic
ensembles of our graduates or self-employed graduates, and our main strategy is to educate such
artistic personalities that will excel in their fields and whose skills will also become a source of their
livelihood.

RECOGNITION BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
3.10 The most significant individual awards for R&D&I
The evaluated unit presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant R&D&I awards
received (in the Czech Republic and in other countries) in the 2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
Award of the result of the research of the conversion of atomic data of chemical elements into the
sound form, which was supported at the FoM within the Student Grant Competition in 2016-2018.
The outcome is, among other things, software for the sonification of atomic data, on the basis of
which a performance was given at the klingt.gut! international conference; that performance was
awarded the Excellence Award in sound art & sound design, YOUNG ARTIST AWARD 2018.
Outside the narrow research area, however, teachers and students of the Faculty of Music of JAMU
have won numerous awards in the field of artistic creative activities, often very prestigious
international ones. For example, in 2018, a student of the FoM, Pavel Zemen, made it to the semifinals
of one of the world’s most prestigious piano competitions - Leeds Piano Competition 2018.
Zemen (currently a doctoral student at the FoM) currently ranks among the top young pianists not
only in the Czech Republic but also internationally. A similarly significant success was achieved, for
example, by a student of the clarinet class of the FoM, Martin Adámek, who in June 2016 won an
audition for the Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris (EIC). This is currently the world’s most

3.11 Recognition by the international R&D&I community
The evaluated unit provides the following information / examples demonstrating recognition by the
international scientific community in the 2014–2018 reporting period, with a commentary:
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of its academic staff’s participation on the editorial
boards of international scientific journals (e.g. editor, member of the editorial board) in the
appendix (table 3.11.1),
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant invited lectures by the evaluated
unit’s academic staff abroad in the appendix (table 3.11.2),
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant lectures by foreign scientists and
other guests relevant to the R&D&I field in the appendix (table 3.11.3),
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant elected memberships of
professional societies (table 3.11.4).
Self-evaluation:
Given the above-mentioned specifics, the evaluation of the international recognition of the FoM’s
creative work must also be seen in the context of complex creative work, including artistic work that
is carried out at European and world level. The international professional/artistic community is
therefore very interested in international cooperation with the FoM, especially in the field of
lectures or workshops by prominent foreign experts and artists at the FoM, or, vice versa, academics
from the FoM at prestigious foreign institutions. Although the theoretical research activities, which
are narrowly defined in this area, are quantitatively minor, the FoM can show evidence of
recognition by the international community in this case as well – see the table in the relevant
appendix.

POPULARISATION OF R&D&I
3.12 The most significant activities in the popularisation of R&D&I and communication with the
public
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of its main activities in the area of popularisation of
R&D&I and communication with the public in the 2014–2018 reporting period, and presents a
maximum of ten examples that it considers the most significant.
Self-evaluation:
The popularisation of research at the FoM is organically linked to its execution. Publicly presented
results of creative activities – in the form of monographs, articles, speeches at conferences,
organisation of conferences or publishing the specialised periodical JAMUsica – also represent an
important popularising element of the given specialised issue.
The Internet FoM journal “JAMUsica” is a peer-reviewed journal focused on the results of
musicological and artistic research; its thematic focus is open, the main objective is to convey
current knowledge in the defined areas. A specific feature of the periodical is the interconnection of
musicological and scientific levels of exploring music with the level of practical artistic execution, i.e.
its reflection through so-called artistic research. The intention of the publishers is to create a new
and specific point of view, expanding the spectrum of knowledge of the phenomenon of music,
music culture and art in general.
Since 2019, the newly conceived Biennial International Conference of the Faculty of Music of JAMU,
“JAMUsica”, continues the tradition of the successful symposia “Musica Antiqua - Musica Nova”
held in different variations since 2005. Its current form responds to contemporary trends in the
world of music art and musicology. The conference seeks to organically link the reflection of these
areas into a wide range of possible artistic or scientific approaches. As a standard, contributions of a
musicological nature as well as papers based on the reflection of artistic creation (“artistic
research”) are presented there. The conference introduces domestic and foreign experts,
theoreticians and practical musicians, who are also engaged in theoretical reflection.
The annual International Doctoral Conference of the Faculty of Music of JAMU is designed for
students of doctoral study programmes focused on theoretical reflection and interpretation of
music and all related fields. Students of art universities as well as students of musicology, music
pedagogy, etc. take part in it. Doctoral students from institutions throughout the Czech Republic and
Slovakia regularly meet there. The thematic definition of the doctoral conference is free; the
purpose of the meeting is to enable all doctoral students to present their professional or artistic
activities.
Furthermore, in the field of popularising the results of the FoM research, the implementation of a
series of lectures for the general public entitled “University of the Third Age”, which has met with
great success and is attended by many dozens of “students” per year, plays an important role.
Educators also develop popularisation activities in the form of contributions in the media and often
cooperate on opening speeches at concerts and the creation of programme brochures or covers for
recordings.

3.6 Significant applied research results with an impact other than an economic one on
society
3.6.1 Overview of applied research results for the 2014–2018 reporting period with an impact other
than an economic one on society
Result type Title Anticipated impact
Monograph Personalities of the Faculty of Music
of JAMU
The work significantly enhances the image of
the Faculty of Music of JAMU as a significant
co-creator of the (musical) culture of Brno, the
region and the entire Czech Republic; the
monograph, in a high-quality way, popularises
the creative activities of the institution and
thus contributes to the understanding of its
results as a cultural, artistic and scientific asset
of the broad civil society.
Monograph Josef Berg and His Dreaming The publication presents a highly innovative
multidisciplinary probe, which on the example
of the selected composition and its musictheoretical
analysis brings a new perspective
regarding the phenomenon of the Brno
Compositional School of the second half of the
20th century, the phenomenon of post-war
music avant-garde and the Musica nova
movement, or regarding the specific
interconnection of composition with the
phenomenon of the theatre genre. The
monograph thus has a significant impact on
the development of knowledge of our cultural
heritage and thus the fulfilment of the third
role of the institution.
Monograph Computer-aided algorithmic
composition.
The monograph presents an interdisciplinary
study, intervening in the field of mathematics,
physics, or (electro)acoustics on the one hand,
and at the same time reflecting the issues of
16
Self-evaluation Report Form
artistic-aesthetic character on the other. The
work integrally synthesises a standard
scientific monograph with stimuli of artistic
research reflecting the author’s compositional
experience. The work significantly shifts the
reflection of compositional techniques and
possibilities associated with computer
technology, and thus has a considerable
impact on the level of artistic practice. Thus,
the monograph can provide a reliable basis for
the entire spectrum of further research in all
areas indicated.
Monograph Zdeněk Košler – Life and Work. The monograph reflects a strongly relevant
topic for the development of Czech musical
culture (including its reflection abroad). Its
considerable social impact helps to recognise
the legacy of an important element of Czech
and Slovak music culture in connection with
world events. The application potential of the
work lies in the possibility of intensive use in
the field of practical artistic interpretation, i.e.
conducting.
Exercise book English Texts for students of the
Music Faculty.
The work has a strong application potential for
the development of specialised teaching of
music issues (specialised terminology, history
of music, phenomena of music culture, literary
genres dealing with music, etc.) in English. Its
great merit is a completely up-to-date view of
the topic, reflecting the multi-layered nature,
complexity and interconnectedness of today’s
musical-cultural environment and operation.
The work presents a specialised handbook for
students of the Faculty of Music of JAMU as
well as the general cultural public. By its
nature, it contributes to increasing the
internationalisation potential of the FoM and
helps fulfil the third role.
Note: List and describe a maximum of five results (in line with the Definitions of Types of Results) that have already
been applied in practice, or that will realistically be applied. These are typically results from disciplines in the
humanities and social sciences, for which you should briefly describe their anticipated impact.

MODULE 3 SOCIAL RELEVANCE
SOCIAL RELEVANCE / SOCIAL BENEFIT OF THE EVALUATED UNIT1
3.1 General self-assessment of the social benefit of R&D&I in the fields of research at the
evaluated unit, and of the evaluated unit as a whole
The evaluated unit gives a concise, general but informative account of the benefit of R&D&I
in the fields in the 2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
The Faculty of Theatre of JAMU (hereinafter also referred to as the FoT or FT) is fully dedicated
to fulfilling the mission of a public higher education institution as the highest element of the
education system, which should be the centre of education, independent knowledge and
creative activities. The specific position of an art university is reflected in the nature of the
activities to which it devotes its primary interest, namely education and artistic creation.
Through artistic projects carried out by students in cooperation with teachers, the education
goals of the institution are fulfilled and, at the same time, its third role in relation to the public,
through which the outputs of artistic activities are presented, is strengthened. Artistic
creation is an integral part of all study programmes and specialisations taught at the FoT (see
appendix 3.21). Artistic outputs have a diverse nature corresponding to the specialisations of
study fields, from theatrical productions executed at theatres, site specifics of projects
performed “open air” and audio-visual works, festivals of theatre or audio-visual production,
concerts and radio documentaries, to student magazines, scripts, etc. Students create these
as part of their study duties and with the support of their teachers, in most cases artists and
professionals, who are also active outside the academic environment. The public’s perception
of artistic achievements at the FoT is very positive, as evidenced by a number of awards at
both national and international levels (see appendix 3.22).
The position of research at the FoT as an art university is specific. Research plays a very
important and inseparable role in relation to artistic creation, since only the synergistic effect
between the execution of art and its conscious analysis and reflection enables the FoT to fulfil
its mission at the desired level and in high quality. Art is a natural subject of the FoT’s research
activities, reflected in different ways, for different purposes and logically with different types
of benefits. In general, we can talk about art research in terms of basic research, which results
in traditional monographs, studies in professional journals or conference papers published in
anthologies (see appendices 3.23 and 3.24), as well as research for art, research through art
(artistic research) and specific research focused on artistic and teaching activities. For details
on the types of research see appendix 3.25.
At JAMU, however, we consider art itself to be a peculiar kind of research activity, as it is also
characterised by a desire to get to know the world in a creative way and to seek new, creative
and original solutions to problems. For us, artistic creation means both basic and applied
research because the creative search is inseparably linked with its use – presentation to
1 In accordance with Section 22(1) of Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education Institutions and on Amendments to Some Other
Acts (the Higher Education Act), as amended.
3
Self-evaluation Report Form
viewers or listeners. However, Methodology 17+ does not reflect and acknowledge this
attitude of ours, and thus reduces the creative activities at our school to only one activity,
rather a supporting or complementary one.

APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS
3.2 Applied research projects2
The evaluated unit presents a maximum of the five most significant (from the perspective of
evaluated unit) applied research projects in the 2014–2018 reporting period from the
complete list in the appendix (tables 3.2.1 and 3.2.2), particularly with regard to the results
achieved or a project’s potential for application.
2 Under Section 2(1)(b) of Act No. 130/2002 Coll., applied research is theoretical and experimental work aimed at gaining new
knowledge and skills for the developing of new or substantially improved products, processes or services; applied research includes
industrial research or experimental development, or a combination of both. Under Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No
651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107
and 108 of the Treaty, industrial research means planned research or critical investigation aimed at the acquisition of new
knowledge and skills for developingnew products, processes or services, or for bringing about a significant improvement in existing
products, processes or services. It comprises the creation of component parts of complex systems, and may include the
construction of prototypes in a laboratory environment or in an environment with simulated interfaces to existing systems as well
as of pilot lines, when necessary for the industrial research and notably for generic technology validation; experimental
development means acquiring, combining, shaping and using existing scientific, technological, business and other relevant
knowledge and skills with the aim of developing new or improved products, processes or services. This may also include, for
example, activities aiming at the conceptual definition, planning and documentation of new products, processes or services.
4
Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
In the reporting period, we executed or prepared and successfully defended the following
applied research projects at the FoT:
1) Comprehensive GIS screening diagnostic system
2) Artistic research into the creation of theatrical productions with actors with Down
syndrome as an effective means of social inclusion
3) Development of communication skills using a new educational methodology, based on
objective evaluation of performer and recipient biosignals
See appendix 3.26 for more information on projects.
In addition to these classical application research projects, we consider research activities
that arise at the FoT with the support of the Student Grant Competition of JAMU (see the
conditions of the Student Grant Competition, hereinafter also referred to as the SGC, in
appendix 3.27) to be significant. Usually, these are basic research projects, but with possible
and often fulfilled potential for application. Projects of this type include, for example, the
research activities of Vladimír Burian, a teacher at the FoT and at the same time a student of
the Dramatic Arts doctoral study programme, who deals with stage lighting design in his
research (SGC projects: 2017 – Stage space analysis using a luminance map, 2019 – Using a
white LED strip with a high CRI as an autonomous light source for the stage performance) or
research projects of pedagogical and artistic nature or of the nature of artistic research
carried out under the leadership of a teacher at the Studio Theatre and Education for the
Deaf, Veronika Broulíková (SGC projects: 2018 – author Aneta Hegyiová – Methods of theatre
and drama in the educational process of pupils at primary schools and schools for the hearing
impaired with application on health education; 2017 – Radka Kulichová – Alenka (Alice) - a
production using artistic interpreting). An integral part are projects based on the principle of
artistic research, e.g. Pavel Seriš – Perception of movement comedy abroad (SGC 2015) or
Research of theatrical activities of Boleslav Polívka abroad (SGC 2016).
Although we consider artistic creation, which we perceive as a specific form of applied
research, to be the main area of our creative activities, even in the field of traditionally
understood applied research we are very active and one of the most successful in the context
of Czech art universities, as evidenced by three projects that have succeeded in the
demanding and highly competitive grant competition of the Technology Agency of the Czech
Republic.

3.3 Contract research3
The evaluated unit briefly comments on revenues from contract research for the 2014–2018
reporting period from the complete list in the appendix (tables 3.3.1 and 3.3.2).
Self-evaluation:
With regard to the above-mentioned specifics of scientific and research activities carried out
at the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU (see clause 3.1), contract research is not a relevant topic
and was not carried out in the reporting period. The interconnection with the professional
sphere is executed in a different way than in the form of contract research, and takes various
forms. Teachers and students cooperate with a number of professional theatres in the
implementation of various scenic projects; with the public and private media (Czech Radio,
Czech Television, private television stations and radios) in the preparation of shows for their
channels; with organisations of state administration and local government in creating
analyses, evaluations or strategic documents and policies (municipalities, regions, the
Ministry of Culture and its semi-budgetary organisations); with private entities in the
preparation and implementation of various types of cultural events and festivals. The
interconnection with the non-academic environment is extremely high for the FoT, and
cooperation brings a number of excellent results (see appendix 3.28).

3.4 Revenues from non-public sources (besides grants or contract research) from research
work
The evaluated unit briefly comments on revenues for the 2014–2018 reporting period for
R&D&I from non-public sources, besides grants or contract research (e.g. licences sold, spinoff
revenues, gifts, etc.). It presents a complete list in the appendix (table 3.4.1).
Self-evaluation:
In view of the above-mentioned specifics of the scientific and research activities carried out
at the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU (see clause 3.1), revenues from non-public sources were
not generated in the reporting period, unless we consider the revenues from artistic creative
activities (e.g. admission) as such income. This type of activity is not practically feasible at an
art education institution of the FoT type. We do not concentrate on this area of research and,
therefore, it cannot be evaluated.

APPLIED RESEARCH RESULTS
3.5 Applied research results with an existing or prospective economic impact on society
3 For a definition of contract research for the purposes of evaluation in the universities sector, see Article 2.2.1 of the Community
framework for State aid for research and development and innovation (2014/C 198/01).
7
Self-evaluation Report Form
The evaluated unit briefly comments on a maximum of the five most significant (from the
perspective of the evaluated unit) applied research results that have already been applied in
practice, or that will realistically be applied, in the 2014–2018 reporting period from the
overview in the appendix (table 3.5.1).
Self-evaluation:
With regard to the specifics of scientific and research activities carried out at the Faculty of
Theatre of JAMU (see clause 3.1), the impact of applied research results is realised primarily
in the area of contribution to cognition and related innovative and practical interventions in
the environments where the results are directed, not in the form of economic performance
indicators. We consider evaluating the quality of our creative activities (including research)
according to economic impact to be in fact contrary to our mission, which consists in
developing the talents of students and culture and society in general, not generating financial
gain. We consider evaluation in this (as in the previous) respect(s) to be inapplicable to our
institution.

3.6 Significant applied research results with an impact other than an economic one on
society
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of a maximum of the five most significant (from
the perspective of the evaluated unit) applied research results with an impact other than an
economic one on society in the 2014–2018 reporting period (typically results from disciplines
in the humanities and social sciences) from the overview in the appendix (table 3.6.1).
Self-evaluation:
Given the specific focus of the FoT’s research activities (see clauses 3.1 and 3.2), these are
results with high potential for application, not project results in terms of traditional, narrowly
defined application research.
1) SERIŠ, Pavol. Artistic research dealing with the topic of Pantomime and clown productions
of Boleslav Polívka in the years 1972–1990 at the (Goose on the) String Theatre, which
resulted in a number of author productions and a dissertation defended at the FoT on 14
December 2017
2) KULICHOVÁ, Radka. Alenka v říši znaků (Alice in the Wonderland of Signs). A production
performed at the Buranteatr Theatre, Brno, premiered on 8 March 2017. Executed as part of

COOPERATION WITH THE NON-ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
3.7 The evaluated unit’s most significant interactions with the non-academic
application/corporate sphere
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of the most typical users of its outputs. It explains
whether and how it identifies them and how it works with them. It provides examples of a
maximum of ten of the most significant interactions with the non-academic environment in
the 2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
As mentioned above, the benefits of applied research in the case of the FoT take place at the
level of social impact and fulfilment of the third role of universities. Given the specific nature
of public art universities and their direct link to artistic practice, cooperation with the nonuniversity
sphere is very natural. The impulses for establishing different types of partnerships
come from both sides (both from demand on the part of the FoT and from the interest of
entities from the non-university application sphere). Rather than the business sphere, we are
talking about users from the public and non-governmental, non-profit and contributory
spheres.
With regard to the nature of R&D activities, the traditional users of the FoT’s results are
cultural institutions in the broad sense of the word, state and local authorities, semibudgetary
organisations of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, primary and
secondary schools, leisure, art-oriented organisations and institutions focused on working
with specific target groups. During the reporting period, the FoT or its teachers cooperated
9
Self-evaluation Report Form
with entities such as the National Theatre Prague, the National Theatre Brno, the National
Moravian-Silesian Theatre, the Centre for Experimental Theatre in Brno, Czech Television,
Czech Radio, the Arts and Theatre Institute, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the
South Moravian Region, the Statutory City of Brno, the South Moravian Innovation Centre,
the Prague Institute of Planning and Development, the Cities of Uherské Hradiště and Zlín,
the Czech Chamber of Sign Language Interpreters, the Czech Union of the Deaf in Brno,
international music festivals Strings of Autumn or JAZZFESTBRNO, etc.
A typical user of the results of the FoT’s creative activities is the professional public, consisting
of representatives of artistic, artistic and technical, artistic and managerial, and artistic and
pedagogical professions active in the field of performing arts and other art segments, and the
general public interested in theatre and culture in general. Interconnection with the nonacademic
sphere occurs on various occasions. An example of a thirty-year-old platform for
meeting students, teachers and the professional community is the unique showcase of
theatre art colleges from all over the world, SETKÁNÍ/ENCOUNTER, which the FoT holds every
year and which is also open to visitors from among the general public. The festival allows
participating theatre schools, including the FoT, to present the results of their creative
activities, share, discuss and reflect on their experience in the presence of Czech and foreign
artists, and strengthen their networks of professional contacts. In the field of scientific
activities, such opportunities include international conferences organised by the FoT, namely
the International Conference of Doctoral Studies and the Theatre Symposium Brno.
See appendix 3.28 for specific examples.

3.8 System and support of technology transfer and intellectual property protection
10
Self-evaluation Report Form
(can be extended to the whole university, emphasising the specific features of the evaluated
unit)
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of its system of technology transfer. It conducts
an evaluation of the quality of its applied research and the effectiveness of technology
transfer using the data presented in the appendix (table 3.5.1). This commentary will highlight
the number of filed and granted patents (Czech and international) and licences sold.
Self-evaluation:
With regard to the specifics of scientific and research activities carried out at the Faculty of
Theatre of JAMU, technology transfer was not executed in the reporting period. Similarly,
patents and licences sold are not relevant with regard to the character of the art university
and the fields offered there (we implement other types of R&D results in our environment).
The copyrights of teachers and students in the case of their extracurricular work are treated
through art agencies or through representation by relevant collective copyright managers,
primarily by the Performing and Mechanical Rights Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers (www.osa.cz/en) or DILIA, Theatre, Literary and Audiovisual Agency
(www.dilia.eu), if a teacher or student asks these organisations for representation. Artistic
performances executed by students in the framework of their study duties, to which the
school contributes financially and organisationally,are so-called school works that are subject
to special regulations on the possibilities of their use, given by the internal regulations of
JAMU. Similarly, in the case of teachers, the provisions on employee works apply in relevant
cases.
Due to the fact that the main focus of the FoT in the field of science and research is the
reflection and analysis of artistic creation and art as such, most results arise in the categories
of monographs, articles and studies in professional journals, conference papers presented in
anthologies, or exhibitions with critical catalogues or the results of artistic research. The
number of monographs published at the FoT in the reporting period was at least 6 items per
year (see appendix 3.23), which is an extraordinary performance given the size of the
institution and the number of researchers. Thus, the evaluation criteria in Module III are
directly linked to the results reported in Modules I and II, i.e. in the so-called Information
Register of R&D Results, in which Czech research institutions report and record the results of
their research activities; in this area we consider ourselves to be an exceptionally efficient
and high-quality institution, but according to the prescribed methodology these activities
should not be evaluated by the International Evaluation Panel – which we consider to be a
major deficiency of the methodology, as foreign evaluators are thus unable to assess our
research activities comprehensively and as a whole.
Taking into account the specifics of the evaluated unit, a parallel to technology transfer is the
education of top theatre artists, who subsequently create and transmit values of artistic and
cultural character in practice. Likewise, the mediation of creative – scientific, artistic or
popularising activities for the general public (or the narrower professional public) constitutes
a case of transfer sui generis.

3.9 Strategy for setting up and support of spin-off firms or other forms of commercialisation
of R&D&I results (can be extended to the whole university, emphasising the specific features
of the evaluated unit)
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of the practical use of its intellectual property in
the form of setting up spin-off firms or other forms of commercialising R&D&I results (both
with or without the participation of the university) established by the evaluated unit
(university), another entity controlled by the evaluated unit (university), or an employee4
of
the evaluated unit, presenting the model for their functioning and coordination, and control
of intellectual property management of the evaluated unit (university).
Self-evaluation:
In view of the above-mentioned specifics of the scientific and research activities carried out
at the FoT, spin-off firms were not established or supported, nor were R&D results
commercialised, in the reporting period. Publications issued by the FoT in the framework of
executed research projects are sold by the JAMU Publishing House for a price covering
production costs. The results of creative activities are offered to the public under conditions
that guarantee equal and open access to cultural wealth, which is based both on the JAMU
mission and the context of the Czech cultural environment, where access to culture is
considered one of the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens.
Due to the specifics of the FoT, the activities described in clauses 3.3, 3.4, 3.7 and 3.8
represent a parallel to the establishment of spin-off firms. In a broader sense, spin-off firms
of the art university are art ensembles of our graduates or self-employed graduates. Our main
strategy is to educate such art personalities that will excel in their fields and whose skills will
also become a source of their livelihood – and we are very successful in that.

RECOGNITION BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
3.10 The most significant individual awards for R&D&I
The evaluated unit presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant R&D&I
awards received (in the Czech Republic and in other countries) in the 2014–2018 reporting
period.
4 To simplify the text, the male gender is used to designate people where gender needs to be distinguished. However, the author
always means men as well as women.
13
Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
Given the nature of the FoT’s research activities, R&D awards relate primarily to published
monographs. In the reporting period, the awards were as follows:
HLAVICA, Marek. Dramatic production of Ostrava’s Czechoslovak Television studio (1955–
1991). Brno: JAMU, 2017. Josef Škvorecký Award for outstanding literary work in the field of
audio-visual creation TRILOBITE 2019.
MOTAL, Jan. Art dialogue: the philosophy of mimesis in the culture of dialogue. Brno: JAMU,
2016. ISBN 978-80-7460-106-4. Award in the category Publishing Act of the Year 2017 in the
framework of the award of Tribute for Alternative Art of the ...next wave… festival
VĚTROVEC, Vítězslav. One Thousand and One Nights production, performed as part of a
project under the Student Grant Competition 2015. Grand Prix Award at the FITUC 2015
festival – Festival International du Théâtre Universitaire de Casablanca, Morocco.
OSLZLÝ, Petr et al. LET HUSY z Brna až do Amsterodamu a Avignonu (FLIGHT OF THE GOOSE
from Brno as far as Amsterdam and Avignon). Brno: JAMU, 2017. ISBN 978-80-7460-121-7.
Nominated for the Divadelní noviny Award 2018 for publishing achievements in the theatre
field.
SLÁMOVÁ BARTOŠOVÁ, Kateřina et al. Člověk ve světle slova (Man in the Light of Words).
U STOLU THEATRE 1989–2016. Brno: JAMU, 2016. ISBN 978-80-7460-110-1. Nominated for
the Divadelní noviny Award 2017 for publishing achievements in the theatre field.
From a broader perspective, it is necessary to mention major international awards aimed at
the results of artistic research, such as the production called Chutilo Vám, páni? (Did you
like, gentlemen?) by a student of the Dramatic Arts doctoral study programme, Pavol Seriš,
awarded at several foreign festivals: 2016 - Festival Monomaffia 2016, Pärnu, Estonia; FITUA
2015 – Festival International du Theatre Universitaire d’Agadir, Morocco; IIFUT 2015 (Iran
International Festival of University Theatre), Iran; European Young Theatre 2015, Spoleto,
Italy; Roma Teatro International Festival 2014, Italy.
Equally important from the point of view of the specific position of the FoT as an art university
are the awards of national or international character awarded to students or teachers of
JAMU for the results of their artistic activities carried out at the FoT (see appendix 3.22).
Many, regularly awarded, awards show the high quality of creative activities carried out at
the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU and confirm its stable position among prestigious art and
educational institutions.

3.11 Recognition by the international R&D&I community
The evaluated unit provides the following information / examples demonstrating recognition
by the international scientific community in the 2014–2018 reporting period, with a
commentary:
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of its academic staff’s participation on the
editorial boards of international scientific journals (e.g. editor, member of the editorial
board) in the appendix (table 3.11.1),
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant invited lectures by the
evaluated unit’s academic staff abroad in the appendix (table 3.11.2),
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant lectures by foreign
scientists and other guests relevant to the R&D&I field in the appendix (table 3.11.3),
- It presents a maximum of ten examples of the most significant elected memberships of
professional societies (table 3.11.4).
Self-evaluation:
The FoT academics are represented in major R&D boards and companies. The presentation
of research results abroad is largely supported by the staff of the Department of Theatre and
Drama Research. The FoT strongly supports internationalisation activities, within which
important foreign experts regularly give guest lectures, workshops or seminars at the faculty.
The breadth, diversity and high quality of the international activities are illustrated by the
relevant tables in appendices.

POPULARISATION OF R&D&I
3.12 The most significant activities in the popularisation of R&D&I and communication with
the public
The evaluated unit gives a concise account of its main activities in the area of popularisation
of R&D&I and communication with the public in the 2014–2018 reporting period, and
presents a maximum of ten examples that it considers the most significant.
Self-evaluation:
The presentation of R&D&I results to the general public takes place at several levels. In
addition to the traditional communication channels, which are relevant websites and social
networks of JAMU and the FoT, where information on R&D&I projects and results is also
presented, these are activities directly focused on specific target groups or specific types of
results.
The University of the Third Age is a traditional, annual FoT event. The aim of the programme
is not only to provide its senior participants with a way to know the sources of theatre art in
various historical periods, but also to connect this with the issue of seeking and fulfilling the
meaning of theatre in modern society.
16
Self-evaluation Report Form
At the end of the reporting period, a pilot run of the University of the First Age, which focuses
on high-school students aged 15–19, took place (carried out since the autumn of 2019). It is
a leisure programme that includes theoretical lectures on theatre and creative workshops
with creative content. Participants explore ways to think about theatre and engage in
dialogue and to get to know theatre through their own creative action. The partner of the
university is the Department of Theatre Studies of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in
Brno.
Studies and research reports of doctoral students under the SGC projects are made available
online through the so-called Academic Studies. These are now part of the student magazine
Ateliér 205, which is created by students of the faculty under the guidance of writer,
scriptwriter, journalist and FoT teacher Jan Němec.
The communication mix includes activities in the field of Public Relations, which include the
christening of FoT publications issued by the JAMU Publishing House, presentations of
research outputs or their interpretation/broadcasting in the media (reports and interviews
on Czech Television, documents or readings from works on Czech Radio, etc.), special
exhibitions focused on the presentation of research results (e.g. series of exhibitions of Pavel
and Marie Jirásek – see appendix 3.23) or specific events such as authors’ readings
accompanied by exhibitions (e.g. Hana Slavíková – presentation of Franz Cap in Prague, Brno
and Piran, Slovenia). The JAMU Publishing House regularly presents the results of its
publishing activities at sales book exhibitions (e.g. Book Me or Book World).
Many of the outputs of research activities are based on artistic research and have the
character of publicly presented scenic projects. The natural popularisation of R&D&I and
communication with the public thus take place through promotional campaigns of these
types of production outputs.

Dissertation
and production
Pantomime and clown productions
of Boleslav Polívka in the years 1972–
1990 at the (Goose on the) String
Theatre
A typical example where art research, the object of
which was the creation by a major Czech actor,
Boleslav Polívka, and research through art
conducted by Pavol Seriš in his own productions
using and reflecting the findings of his research
served to develop the author’s artistic personality
and to develop the theatrical genre, with which he
deals.
Production Alenka v říši znaků (Alice in the
Wonderland of Signs)
The author, Radka Kulichová, worked with a unique
concept of artistic interpreting into sign language,
which is the primary subject of her research work
at the FoT. The artistic interpreting of a theatrical
performance does not consist in the literal
conversion of the individual replicas into signs, but
rather in a comprehensive translation with a
significant authorial share. The production thus
paves a new way to integrate the hearing impaired
into the majority society, while contributing to the
mutual understanding of hearing and deaf people.
Monograph Dekompozičné princípy v inscenačnej
tvorbe (Decomposition principles in
stage production)
The work of Lucie Repašská responds to the nature
and character of theatrical creation within the
scope of independent performance activities and
attempts to reflect, in professional terms, one of
the most current streams of contemporary theatre.
The author draws on her own work and practical
research in the D´epog ensemble in Brno, whose
aim was to test the rather bold hypothesis of the
semantic autonomy of dramaturgical, directorial
and acting components, leading to a higher
reception engagement of the viewer. The original
approach to artistic creation and the distinct
21
Self-evaluation Report Form
innovation of the stage language represent an
important source of inspiration for domestic and
foreign authors, who encounter it not only in the
presentation of the artist’s specific stage projects,
but also at her workshops, which build on the
results of her own artistic and research activities.

Strategy of culture and creative
industries of the City of Brno
The “Strategy of culture and creative industries”
includes the long-term plan of the Statutory City of
Brno to support and manage an excellent,
sustainable, achievable and reputable cultural and
creative scene in Brno. The document contains
individual long-term goals, priorities and measures
that the City of Brno has undertaken to address, and
is currently being used as one of the important
strategic documents for the practical management
of cultural policy at the level of the South Moravian
metropolis. Daniela Zarodňanská, a teacher and
doctoral student of the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU,
participated in its creation.
Analysis Analysis of the provision of subsidies
by the Ministry of Culture in the field
of living art 2012-2016
An extensive analysis dealing with the state of grant
programmes of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech
Republic focused on the support of living art, an
integral part of which is a proposal part aimed at
improving existing grant schemes. The FoT teachers
Blanka Chládková and Hana Průchová cooperated
on the analysis with researchers of the Arts and
Theatre Institute. Some recommendations relating,
for example, to the process of submitting grant
applications under a programme intended for
professional art projects have already been
implemented by the research sponsor, i.e. the
Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. The
application of strategic interventions will require a
longer time horizon. The results of the analysis are
currently being used in discussions on the State
Cultural Policy of the Czech Republic 2021 – 2026
and related strategic documents.
Note: List and describe a maximum of five results (in line with the Definitions of Types of Results) that have already
been applied in practice, or that will realistically be applied. These are typically results from disciplines in the
humanities and social sciences, for which you should briefly describe their anticipated impact.

MODULE 4 VIABILITY
ORGANISATION, MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT FOR R&D&I
4.1 Organisation and management of R&D&I
The university gives a concise account of its management system and organisational structure for
R&D&I, highlighting the following aspects:
- the role of the Rector’s Office, Dean’s Office and the management of the university’s institutes
in the organisation and management of R&D&I,
- the involvement of international scientific councils or other independent advisory bodies (if
any),
- the university’s organisational structure in relation to R&D&I (e.g. the internal structuring of
institutes and departments into research or project teams, if there is any such structuring;
interdisciplinary research centres, etc.),
- the relevant internal regulation is included as an appendix to the general information on
remuneration at the university.
It also briefly comments on data from the appendix (tables 4.1.1 and 4.1.2) on the number and
structure of the university’s employees1
contributing to R&D&I.
Self-evaluation:
The JAMU Rector’s Office coordinates and methodically and strategically manages research
activities at JAMU, evaluates its results and communicates, on behalf of JAMU, with state
authorities, other universities, especially art universities, and some international organisations.
Furthermore, the Rector’s Office determines the rules for the distribution of research funding,
including the management and control of two internal grant competitions (Research Development
Fund - RDF, Student Grant Competition - SGC). The Vice-Rector for Creative Activities at JAMU is
responsible for research in its entirety. The Vice-Rector is also always the Chairman of the Editorial
Board, the Library Council and the RDF Committee.
JAMU does not have an independent international scientific council; its activities are represented by
the Arts Council of JAMU or the Board of Governors of JAMU. JAMU does not have any universitywide
workplace focused solely on research, but it includes the Orlí Street Theatre, where besides
the priority artistic activities, research and art-research projects are executed.
At the faculties of JAMU, research activities are coordinated by the Vice-Dean for Research, who is a
member of the Dean’s College (faculty management consisting of the Dean, Vice-Deans and
Secretary) (for more information see appendices 4.1 and 4.2). The Vice-Dean for Research is
responsible for the publishing activities of the faculty, the implementation of the SGC and RDF grant
competitions (for more information see section 4.2), the organisation of scientific conferences, the
collection of data on research results and their transfer to national registers. He/she provides
methodological assistance to heads of departments and studios and teachers in the preparation of
projects of a scientific and research nature and in the implementation of research projects.
At the FoM, the Vice-Dean coordinates the activities of three study boards (three Ph.D. programmes
at the FoM) in the area of implementation of research activities into doctoral studies, and provides
methodological support to the heads of departments for scientific and research activities. The team
of Dean’s Officers, which significantly participates in the implementation of the organisation of
individual research areas, is very busy at the FoM; the work done should be distributed among a
larger number of people. However, the capacity of the FoM building is also a problem at present;
1 To simplify the text, the male gender is used to designate people where gender needs to be distinguished. However, the author
always means men as well as women. Where separate information on women and men is explicitly requested, this data shall be
provided.
3
Self-evaluation Report Form
the situation should be improved by allocating new space to the FoM in the JAMU Astorka multipurpose
facility. At the FoT, the Vice-Dean, due to his/her membership in the study board and with
regard to his/her area of competence, participates in the formation of the Dramatic Arts doctoral
programme (the only Ph.D. programme implemented at the FoT).
The Centre for Research of the Brno Compositional School has been operating at the FoM since
2019, but in terms of organisational status it is a working group (i.e. the Centre does not enter the
official structure of the FoM). Possible work teams (about 2-5 employees) are created on the basis
of grant projects, especially the RDF and SGC. The Department of Theatre and Drama Research has
long existed at the FoT. Its staff conduct research projects, participate in teaching at all three levels
of study, organise faculty international scientific conferences and prepare publishing outputs of the
FoT.
Therefore, JAMU as a whole has only a minimum of organisational units focused exclusively on
research, and the same applies to pure researchers. Research activities at JAMU are carried out
within the framework of standard teaching tasks and the obligations of each employee to develop
creative activities (artistic or research). Therefore, the numbers given in tables 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
include all JAMU academic staff, since it is virtually impossible to specify more precisely who, to
what extent and in what period of time is engaged in research activities. Of course, it is
characteristic of JAMU that the majority of teachers pursue artistic activities as creative activities;
however, a significant part of our teachers also engaged in research activities with publication
output at some stage of their work at JAMU. It is only in general that the number of employees who
have been engaged in research activities for a long time and consistently can be specified at 20-30 (+
doctoral students).
Like the entire JAMU, the faculties do not have any independent international scientific councils.
Their existence is compensated by the Arts Council or a doctoral study board.
Remuneration is governed by the Internal Wage Regulations (see appendix 4.3). Remuneration is
graded according to the education attained and the academic degrees and titles achieved;
extraordinary performances can be valued by a personal surcharge of up to 100 % of the tariff wage
and a bonus. A specific remuneration is a surcharge for the achievement of a doctoral degree, which
motivates employees to pursue a doctoral degree.

quality of R&D&I. This can be done in a bulleted list for the university as a whole.

Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
The most important tools of support for quality research at JAMU include:
1) Research Development Fund – an internal grant competition to support research activities of
teachers or other JAMU staff. Each year, it allocates CZK 1-1.5 million to projects lasting 1-3 years.
(see appendix 4.4),
2) Student Grant Competition – an internal grant competition to support research activities of
students, especially doctoral students and students of the Master’s study programme. Each year, it
allocates about CZK 1.3 million to projects lasting 1-3 years. (see appendix 4.5),
3) Rudolf Firkušný Grant – a scholarship programme to support foreign stays of JAMU students,
which can also be used for stays of doctoral students in connection with their education and
research (see appendix 4.6),
4) The newly created (2019) JAMU Career Code, which creates career plans of JAMU staff including
the area of research activities (see appendices 4.7-4.9),
5) Rules of Habilitation Proceedings and Proceedings for the Appointment of Professors – internal
regulations governing the rules and criteria for obtaining artistic and pedagogical degrees (see
appendix 4.10),
6) Targeted rewards for extraordinary quality results from JAMU research grant funds,
7) Support of foreign visits of teachers and researchers related to their research activities from the
school resources,
8) Promoting individual membership of teachers and researchers in international networks (e.g. the
International Federation for Theatre Research),
9) Support of teachers and researchers through JAMU membership in international networks (SAR Society
for Artistic Research, ELIA - European League of Institutes of the Arts, ENCATC - European
Network on Cultural Management and Policy, etc.).
We consider all these tools sufficient at the moment, also given the fact that, in the long term, the
relatively low subsidy to support research activities does not allow us to expand these tools any
further. The most significant innovation in recent years has been the establishment of the Research
Development Fund (2018), as the handling of subsidies has thus become much more transparent
and motivating for the staff.

4.3 Institutional regulations for the use of institutional support for the LCDRO
The university describes its strategy for using institutional support for the LCDRO in managing
institutionally supported research work (e.g. prioritising the university’s research topics in line with
individual needs; internal grant agencies; motivational tools) and how institutional support was split
among individual workplaces / research teams in the 2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
Funds of institutional support of the JAMU research organisation (approx. CZK 4.5 million annually)
are distributed annually according to the following rules:
1. Support for the Research Development Fund. Each year, about CZK 1.5 million (depending
on the number and quality of projects) is allocated to projects lasting 1-3 years.
2. Support of faculty research activities according to the faculty research results in the
previous five years (number of publications, external research grants, publication awards,
results in Module 1 of the Methodology). Every year, CZK 2-2.5 million is distributed and
used mainly for the organisation of scientific conferences, rewards to researchers for the
results of research activities, implementation of publishing activities of the faculties, support
of research activities of employees – foreign trips, membership in professional
organisations, etc.
3. JAMU overhead costs associated with research activities (e.g. support of the JAMU
Publishing House activities, support for the purchase of books and other information
materials by the JAMU Library, institutional membership in international professional
organisations).
JAMU does not specifically support priority research topics, and the preferred areas of research
interest are based on the priorities of the researchers themselves. In a partial way, priority research
topics are supported within the project competition of the Research Development Fund – support of
selected projects.
We consider the greatest progress in recent years to be the creation of the Research Development
Fund (2018 - see 4.3) and the setting of uniform criteria for the distribution of support among the
faculties (2019), which aim to promote transparency, predictability, long-term sustainability and,
especially, quality.

4.4 Strategy for the establishing, financing and long-term development and sustainability of
research centres and large research infrastructures2
(if any)
The university gives a concise account of its strategy for the sustainability and development of its
2 Under Section 2(2)(d) of Act No. 130/2002 Coll., as amended, a large research infrastructure is a research
infrastructure that is an essential research facility for comprehensive research and development work with high
financial and technological demands, which is approved by the government and established to also be used by other
research organisations.
6
Self-evaluation Report Form
large research infrastructure, if it is the host organisation for such a project. It also describes its
strategy for the sustainability and development of its research centre(s) developed in 2007–2015
under the European Structural Funds (Operational Programmes: Research and Development for
Innovations, Prague – Competitiveness) and supported during the sustainability period under the
National Sustainability Programme, if such a research centre is part of the university.
Self-evaluation:
A large research centre as defined in the title of this section does not exist at JAMU and, given the
nature of the research activities we undertake at JAMU, its existence at our school is neither
necessary nor desirable or practically possible.
Since 2019, the Centre for Research of the Brno Compositional School has existed at the Faculty of
Music. However, it is formally a working group and does not meet the criteria of a large research
centre.
In terms of the size of JAMU and given the priority focus of JAMU on artistic education and artistic
creation, our two theatre houses constitute the equivalent of a large research infrastructure. They
are namely the Orlí Street Theatre (where many music projects are also conducted) and the Marta
Studio, which have state-of-the-art stage technologies and provide a top background and
infrastructure for stage projects. The sustainability of their activities is ensured from the operational
resources of the school and is not jeopardised by anything. Due to the recent (2019) significant
innovation of their technological equipment, no major investments in this area are necessary in the
near future. The creation of another similar part of JAMU is not planned and JAMU does not
consider it necessary, because we do not expect a significant increase in the number of students or
art projects executed at the school.

4.5 Training system in the area of intellectual property protection and technology transfer
The university gives a concise account of its internal system for training undergraduate and
postgraduate students and employees in the area of intellectual property protection and technology
transfer (if there is such a training system).
Self-evaluation:
The protection of copyright and related rights is an integral area of knowledge that art professionals
need. Education in this area is thus a logical part of the curricula of undergraduate students to the
extent appropriate to the needs of the relevant field. The protection of intellectual property is a
significant part of the teaching of students of Theatre Production; a seminar on copyright is included
in the fields of Drama Direction and Dramaturgy. Professional training courses, taught in most fields
at the FoT and aimed at strengthening the competencies of future graduates needed in the market,
also address copyright and legal topics.
The ethics of scientific work reflecting copyright and legal issues and the related area of plagiarism
constitute an integral part of diploma seminars held in the last years of Bachelor’s and Master’s
degree studies in all fields. In the case of postgraduate students, these topics are dealt with in the
Basics of Scientific Work course, which doctoral students complete at the beginning of their first
year of study.
Employees have the opportunity to expand their intellectual property protection knowledge
through regularly offered courses of APUA (Association of University Administration Staff), of which
JAMU is a member.

DOCTORAL STUDIES
4.6 Organisation of doctoral studies
The university gives a concise account of the organisation and management of doctoral studies:
structure, key statistics, information on promotion and recruitment schemes, external
communications concerning doctoral studies (e.g. cooperation with the Czech Academy of Sciences,
cooperation with the application sphere, recruitment abroad, etc.), eventually any other relevant
information such as the existence of a doctoral school, basic courses in soft skills, etc.
Self-evaluation:
The basic rules for the organisation of doctoral studies at JAMU are given by the Higher Education
Act and the JAMU Rules for Studies and Examinations (see appendices 4.11 and 4.12) – e.g. the
existence of study boards, an individual study plan, standard length of study of 4 years or the basic
parameters of dissertations. The execution of doctoral studies is different at each faculty.
At the FoM, doctoral studies are executed in three study programmes: Interpretation and Theory of
Interpretation, Composition and Theory of Composition, and Music Production, all accredited for
study in Czech. Each of these programmes is under a separate study board. In addition to academics
from the FoM, experts from other institutions in the Czech Republic also sit on the study boards. The
actions of the study boards are governed by an internal regulation of the FoM, the Rules of
Procedure of Study Boards (see appendix 4.13), and their activities are defined in the Statutes of
Study Boards of the FoM (see appendix 4.14). Approximately 5-8 students are admitted to the
doctoral programme every year. The study is promoted by standard channels of presentation of the
FoM’s activities (website, Facebook, Gaudeamus University Fair). Due to the specifics of our fields (a
relatively small circle of potential students and relatively small professional community), the vast
majority of applicants are informed about doctoral studies based on personal contacts with
8
Self-evaluation Report Form
teachers; personal consultations are thus a key form. Due to the specifics of the FoM, the
parameters mentioned in clause 4.6 are not implemented (cooperation with the Czech Academy of
Sciences, cooperation with the application sphere – unless we consider art institutions as part of the
application sphere). Foreign students (but studying in the Czech language) are also significantly
represented in FoM undergraduate study programmes; therefore, the FoM does not organise
special recruitment events for doctoral students abroad.
At the FoT, doctoral studies are organised as part of one study programme, Dramatic Arts, which is
led by a study board headed by its chairperson. In terms of administrative support, the organisation
of studies is handled by an authorised officer of the FoT’s Study Department. Both the faculty
representatives and experts from the external environment sit on the study board. The actions of
the study board are governed by internal regulations, namely the Statutes of Study Board of the FoT
and the Rules of Procedure of Study Board of the FoT (see appendices 4.15 and 4.16). Approximately
6 students are admitted to doctoral studies every year. Due to the specific and individualised nature
of the educational process at the art university, the promotion of doctoral studies is primarily on a
personal basis, where the applicant enters into contact with specific educators, potential
supervisors, and consults with them his/her research intent with which he/she wants to apply for
the doctoral studies. A secondary form is then promotion on the school website, social networks,
university fairs (Gaudeamus Brno and Bratislava), etc. Cooperation with the application sphere is
realised primarily in the framework of research projects and artistic creative activities (see Module 3
of the FoT). Teaching in the doctoral study programme is based on individual study plans, composed
of compulsory subjects (including courses such as the basics of scientific work, presentation skills in
English language teaching) and activities corresponding to the research profile of the doctoral
student (foreign trips, summer schools, lectures at other universities, etc.).
Formally, doctoral studies at JAMU are very well-organised with clearly defined competencies and
duties of key actors (the study board, supervisors, students).
An issue discussed in the long term, however, is the question of the position of doctoral studies at
art universities and their dominant profile: whether they should be focused on research, teaching or
artistic activities. While at most other universities the doctorate is a prerequisite for further
pedagogical and research work and is a standard and necessary intermediate step in the transition
to a pedagogical position, at art universities the priority is the student’s own artistic creation, which
is developed outside the school environment and usually does not constitute the primary element
of the doctoral studies (which is conducting doctoral research and writing a dissertation, usually
consisting of theoretical reflection and analysis of an artefact or phenomenon).

Self-evaluation Report Form
4.7 Internationalisation of doctoral studies
The university gives an account, with specific examples, of international cooperation in doctoral
studies, e.g. building open doctoral study programmes for foreign nationals and creating
international networks for doctoral studies; care for foreign students coming within the framework
of mobility; support and the existence of joint individual doctoral studies as part of international
cooperation (e.g. joint degrees), individual contracts (e.g. cotutelle degrees), study visits and
research internships abroad, etc.
Self-evaluation:
JAMU provides mainly organisational, methodological and financial background for the
internationalisation of doctoral studies, and specific internationalisation activities are then
developed at the faculties. International cooperation in doctoral studies is primarily addressed
individually according to the needs and interests of individual students, with regard to the topic of
their doctoral research and in cooperation with supervisors, who mediate their international
contacts to their students. JAMU supports these activities financially (Student Grant Competition,
Erasmus+ Programme, Rudolf Firkušný Grants, Internationalisation Funds), and supports a wide
range of possible international activities: joint art and research projects, study visits, research stays,
participation in foreign conferences.
On the institutional level, internationalisation support is offered by JAMU membership in foreign
professional organisations, where JAMU representatives can mediate contacts to the required
persons or institutions for their students. Communication between the student and the appropriate
representative often takes place at the level of personal contact (which our school of a relatively
small size seamlessly allows), or along the line of supervisor – study board – Vice-Dean –
representative.
Scientific conferences organised by our faculties, bringing together domestic and foreign experts,
who learn the topics of their colleagues’ research and establish personal contacts, are an important
contribution to strengthening the internationalisation of doctoral studies. In terms of doctoral
studies, the most important of these is the Europe-unique international symposium of doctoral
studies at theatre schools organised by the FoT (see Module 3).
In terms of strengthening internationalisation, a major change will be the new accreditation of
doctoral study programmes (planned for 2021-2023), which will make foreign placement (at least 1
month) a compulsory part of the curriculum.
At the FoM in the reporting period (2014-18), the preparation of a Master’s joint programme
started; that programme has been offered since 2019/20 (European Early Music Master Studies) in
cooperation with the Royal Conservatory and the Academy in The Hague, Netherlands – however,
the establishment of a similar doctoral programme is not yet planned.
However, the JAMU doctoral study programmes have been accredited only for teaching in the Czech
language, so the vast majority of students have Czech citizenship (possibly Slovak, which is allowed
by the linguistic proximity of both nations).
Overall, international relations are encouraged and used sufficiently in doctoral studies; their
expansion is hindered by: (a) relatively limited funding; (b) not exceptional (and at the same time
justified and necessary) focus of doctoral students on the research of national topics (Czech theatre
and music culture), which are difficult to present in the international environment; and (c) still not
perfect language skills of all students, especially in field-specific English.

Self-evaluation Report Form
4.8 Subsequent careers for doctoral graduates
(support conditions)
The university lists specific measures to support doctoral graduates (e.g. internal subsidy schemes for
the further development of new scientists, postdoctoral fellows, active search for opportunities
abroad, etc.) and provides representative data in the appendix (table 4.8.1) to illustrate subsequent
careers for doctoral graduates, with a maximum of ten examples of how graduates proved
themselves in the 2014–2018 reporting period.
Self-evaluation:
A specific feature of an art university is the fact that the teachers should be mainly prominent artistic
personalities with proven results and achievements in artistic practice - while at other types of
universities, doctoral studies are a direct intermediate step before teaching and its necessary
precondition.
Despite this fact, we perceive doctoral studies as a possible preparation for further teaching at JAMU
(and therefore we try to admit doctoral students not only according to the quality of research topics,
but also according to the applicants’ artistic experience). The curricula are also adapted to this,
including the basics of pedagogy and compulsory pedagogical practice at JAMU, which takes diverse
forms depending on the students’ field, research focus and also the experience with which they enter
the studies. The forms include the shading of teaching, assistance in lessons, leading independent
lectures or workshops, sometimes even the student’s own subjects. In the case of positive experience
both on the faculty’s part and on the part of the doctoral students, future graduates gain important
practical experience which they can use in selection procedures for positions of assistant professors.
When filling the positions of assistant professors, the completion of doctoral studies is appreciated,
but not strictly required. Roughly a half of young teachers at JAMU are now doctoral graduates.
Young teachers with completed doctoral education are supported and awarded a special extra pay
(approx. EUR 60/month).
A large research into the continuing practice of doctoral graduates and their reflection on the content
and benefits of doctoral studies was carried out in 2018 in cooperation with three other Czech art
universities and with the support of a grant from the Ministry of Education (Title: “Strengthening the
competitiveness and quality of doctoral study programmes at art universities in the national and
international context”). The highly stimulating (and predominantly positive) knowledge is gradually
incorporated into the new accreditation files of our doctoral study programmes.
It is apparent from table 4.8.1 that many of our doctoral graduates have found employment in
prestigious cultural institutions in the Czech Republic and abroad, often in managerial or leading
positions, and many of them continue to work as teachers at JAMU.
Since we consider artistic practice as a priority area for graduates of all JAMU degrees (including the
doctoral degree), it is not possible for the school to support graduates in any institutionalised form
(e.g. grants, special job positions). However, as far as possible, we provide support to graduates
through informal ways: personal recommendations by teachers and supervisors, mediating personal
contacts with representatives of art institutions outside JAMU, and collaborating on art projects. This
form of support for graduates has proven to be the best in the case of art universities, and we are also
very successful in it (as evidenced by the negligible unemployment rate of our graduates, many of
whom have found employment in their field of study).

4.9 Rules for funding doctoral students, including foreign students
(stimulation and motivation tools)
The university provides information on methods for funding doctoral students (Ph.D. students),
including foreign students, covering personal expenses (grants) and other expenses. The university
also lists specific stimulation and motivation tools of the financial support for doctoral students in
addition to their regular grants.
Self-evaluation:
According to the JAMU Rules of Scholarship, students of the doctoral programme in full-time studies
receive a doctoral scholarship paid on a monthly basis. The amount of this scholarship is based on a
subsidy provided by the Czech Ministry of Education and is approx. EUR 475/month. This scholarship
is paid to students in the form of a single monthly payment (approx. EUR 400/month) and in the form
of extraordinary scholarships paid twice a year based on the results of the student’s artistic, research
or teaching activities.
Currently, the Ministry is preparing a significant increase in doctoral scholarships, which should
change their existing shameful amount (below the minimum wage in the Czech Republic) and should
allow students to focus fully on the implementation of doctoral research and on their doctoral studies
– rather than on livelihoods, as is the present standard.
Students involved in projects that have succeeded in the Student Grant Competition are rewarded in
the form of a scholarship in an amount approved by the committee for this competition, taking into
account the nature, scale or difficulty of the project in question (see appendix 4.17).
Students in doctoral programmes in the combined form of study, who teach at individual
departments, are rewarded with extra scholarships.
Other extraordinary scholarships are paid to doctoral students ad hoc, in cases worthy of special
consideration (performance of above-standard scientific, educational, artistic or organisational tasks).
Selected students, who are more involved in teaching at JAMU and have proven their pedagogical
skills, are already employed as assistant professors during their studies.
However, as in clause 4.8, it is necessary to mention the non-institutionalised form of student
support, which is based on the specifics of an art university and which consists in mediating job
possibilities (and thus financial rewards) to students in artistic practice by their teachers and
supervisors. In this case too, we consider this form of support to be absolutely essential and unique –
although it does not and cannot take any formalised form.
Foreign doctoral students at JAMU study in Czech and, therefore, have the same position and
opportunities as Czech students in terms of support.

NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND MOBILITY IN R&D&I
4.10 Significant cooperation in R&D&I at national level
The university gives a maximum of five specific examples of cooperation in R&D&I at national level.
12
Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
Significant cooperation at the national level took place, inter alia, through the implementation of the
following projects:
doc. Mgr. et MgA. Monika Holá, Ph.D. (Faculty of Music): Leoš Janáček: Speech melodies. Critical Edition II
(2011-2017). A project supported by the Czech Science Foundation and implemented by the FoM in
cooperation with the Leoš Janáček Foundation. The result was the creation of an electronic database of
speech melodies made by Leoš Janáček, which are publicly available on the Internet.
doc. MgA. Marek Hlavica, Ph.D. (Faculty of Theatre): Dramatic production of Ostrava’s Czechoslovak
Television studio in the years 1955–1991 (2015 – 2017). A project supported by the Czech Science
Foundation, in which the author intensively cooperated with the Czech public television (Czech Television)
in the analysis of its archival collections. The result is a monograph, “Dramatic production of Ostrava’s
Czechoslovak Television studio (1955–1991)”, published by the JAMU Publishing House in 2017.
prof. Josef Kovalčuk (Faculty of Theatre): Brno Studio Theatres II: documentation - reconstruction analysis
(2013-2018). The project, supported by the Czech Science Foundation, focused on the analysis of
theatrical production of significant Brno scenes of the Goose on a String Theatre, the HaDivadlo Theatre,
the U Stolu Theatre and the Ochotnický kroužek (Amateur Circle) Theatre. By its very nature, the research
required close collaboration with these theatres and artists who were associated with the theatres’ work.
The main result of the project was a total of eight monographs published under the auspices of the JAMU
Publishing House.
MgA. Lucia Repašská (Faculty of Theatre): Development of communication skills using a new educational
methodology, based on objective evaluation of performer and recipient biosignals. The project was
prepared jointly by the Brno University of Technology (main candidate), Masaryk University in Brno and
the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU (project partners) in 2018; since 2019, it has been successfully
implemented with the support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic. It is an interdisciplinary
research project, the aim of which is to establish a teaching methodology for the development of the
communication competencies of the performer/presenter. For the project to be successful, it is necessary
to bring together all the three institutions involved.
MgA. Daniela Zarodňanská (Faculty of Theatre): Typology and problem areas of international cooperation
projects from the perspective of a repertoire type theatre. The project, supported under the SGC in 2017,
required cooperation between the author and the Creative Europe Office of the Arts and Theatre
Institute, as well as extensive research directly at repertoire type theatres (the South Bohemian Theatre in
České Budějovice, the National Theatre Prague, the Centre for Experimental Theatre Brno) and foreign
institutions (the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, the European Theatre Convention).

(e.g. in 2016, it had the following active participants: Anna Nowak – Bydgoszcz; Dagmar Glüxam –
Vienna; Angela Romagnoli – Pavia; Suzanne van der Helm – The Hague/Bratislava, etc.), with a wide
range of specialisations, including reflections in the form of papers, discussions or lectures in the
field of music historiography, music theory or music aesthetics, as well as artistic research.
Symposium: Art/Music/Management. Organised since 2013, the Faculty of Music of JAMU was there
at its establishment. The venue and the organising institution are rotated every year within three art
universities where music management or music production is taught (Janáček Academy of Music
and Performing Arts in Brno, the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and the Academy of
Performing Arts in Bratislava, Slovakia).
A number of workshops, lectures on music art or professional seminars are regularly organised at
the FoM, which by their nature correspond to the specific complex nature of the creative activities
operated at the institution, i.e. the whole spectrum of activities ranging from purely theoretical
research through artistic research (and research via art) to one’s own artistic activities – all this in
the context of an integral connection with pedagogical work. See e.g.:
2015 - Bernhard Klapprott (Germany), 2015: lecture entitled “Aspects of cantabile keyboard playing
based on sources from the time of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach with regard to the influence of the
clavichord”.
2018 - lecture, workshop, individual consultations and concert of Leigh Landy - focused on the
innovation of the subjects of Composition, Theory of Composition, Basics of Composition Theory,
Multimedia Composition and Interpretation of New Music
2019 - foreign guest workshop (DnO) - Kees Tazelaar, composer and head of the Institute of
Sonology in The Hague, Netherlands
2019 - foreign guest seminar (Classroom No. 114 at the FoM) - Joseph Klein, composer and head of
the Department of Composition, University of North Texas, Denton, U.S.
Faculty of Theatre:
Passage 23 E: Theatre and Theatricality from the Baltic to the Aegean, International Theatre
Institute Berlin - a joint project of theatre institutes, universities, archives and artists from Central,
Central and Eastern and Southeast Europe (2016–2017). It focused on theatre and forms of
theatrical expression in these cultural areas over the past 25 years. The main aim of the project was
to create a common information and documentation system focused on European culture, its past,
present and future.
Theatre Symposium Brno - Biennial international symposia of the theatre anthropology and
scientific conferences have been held at the FoT since 1996. Amongst significant figures who
14
Self-evaluation Report Form
participated in the symposium are e.g. Richard Schechner, Nicola Savarese, Joachim Fiebach or
Wojciech Dudzik. Thanks to these symposia, the Faculty of Theatre has been visited by the most
important personalities in the world of theatre, who enabled its students and teachers to get
acquainted with the most up-to-date world thinking about theatre.
An important role in relation to international cooperation is played by research projects of doctoral
students implemented with the support of the Student Grant Competition, e.g.:
Tereza Reková - research focused on the specifics of radio documentary production, carried out in
the context of the International Feature Conference (IFC) case - close cooperation with IFC
representatives (Stockholm, Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, Capri, etc.) in mapping the history,
development and present of this international conference (2017-2019);
Daniela Zarodňanská - research focused on the conditions and limits of international cooperation
projects carried out by repertoire type theatre institutions - cooperation with the Croatian National
Theatre in Zagreb, the Slovak association Divadelná Nitra, the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre and the
European Theatre Convention international network (2017-2018).

4.12 Mobility of academic staff and researchers
(including segmental and intersegmental mobility)
The university gives a concise and structured account of the mobility of its academic staff and
researchers, covering the following areas:
- the mobility of doctoral students and academic staff in connection with R&D&I (strategy,
system, policies), with a maximum of ten specific examples that it considers especially fruitful,
- any barriers to the mobility of academic staff and researchers.
Self-evaluation:
Due to the primary artistic focus of JAMU, the extensive international mobility of academic staff and
students is mainly related to artistic creative activities, but even a proportionally smaller part
related to the research area represents activities with a high impact on the development of the
overall creative activities of the FoM and the FoT.
Mobility is carried out primarily for the purpose of active appearances at professional conferences,
giving professional lectures, organising expert workshops, or for the purpose of research related to
research plans addressed.
The determining factor for a wider expansion of research mobility is often a heavy workload in other
areas (teaching, artistic creation, administration, organisational activities), which complicates the
15
Self-evaluation Report Form
allocation of a longer period of time for stays abroad.
Financially, JAMU endeavours to support these activities from available sources: JAMU operational
funds, the Student Grant Competition, the Research Development Fund, the Education and Arts
Development Fund, external grant programmes, etc.
As already mentioned, JAMU does not seek to create a unified research strategy, but it allows
individual teachers, students and researchers to individually develop their areas of research interest,
so that the approval of support for individual foreign mobility always proceeds individually at the
level of the Dean’s College, the study board or the relevant committee after assessing the benefits
and needs of the mobility in question.
Barriers to mobility include: (a) obviously a limited budget for these activities, (b) in the case of
exclusively research mobility, a significantly greater interest of JAMU teachers in artistic and
teaching mobility, (c) local (Czech) affiliation of research topics of many researchers, which are not
always attractive enough for foreign audiences, and (d) poor language skills of some researchers.

4.13 Internationalisation of the internal environment
The university describes the basic framework for the internationalisation of its internal environment
in relation to R&D&I and lists the tools to meet the objectives of internationalisation and how they
are implemented. Any barriers to internationalisation can also be mentioned.
Self-evaluation:
The JAMU environment is relatively markedly internationalised in the vast majority of its core
activities, with internationalisation in the educational and artistic fields dominating. In the area of
research, which complements the first two main activities, internationalisation is in most cases also
integrated with artistic research and artistic creative activities.
The most important innovation in the field of internationalisation at JAMU (namely the Faculty of
Music) since 2019/20 has been the implementation of the European international Master’s
programme (joint programme) focused on the study of early music – European Early Music Master
Studies, together with the Royal Conservatory and the Academy in The Hague, Netherlands. We
expect that this cooperation will also affect our research activities, e.g. in the form of publications or
joint research projects.
Membership in international organisations
JAMU as a whole is an institutional member of mainly university-type and non-specific international
organisations, such as the largest European network of art schools, ELIA (the European League of
Institutes of the Arts), or the world’s largest organisation associating institutions and individuals
engaged in artistic research, SAR (Society for Artistic Research). The faculties of JAMU are members
of field-specific international organisations.
The Faculty of Music is a member of the European Association of Music Colleges, Academies and
Conservatories (AEC Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musicque et
Musikhochschulen). As a member of a cultural and educational network comprising nearly 300
music and education institutions from 57 countries, it has the opportunity to participate in the
implementation and completion of standards, rules and procedures applied subsequently in the
organisation and operation of art universities as well as in the promotion of the interests of art
education within the European structures. It enables to create a network of active contacts of
partner institutions with the possibility of cooperation in the field of mobility or on specific thematic
projects. Every year, AEC organises a number of thematic conferences, seminars and meetings, and
coordinates several European music education projects. Representatives of the FoM regularly
attend the AEC Annual Congresses (including the General Assembly), as well as the Annual
Conferences for Foreign Relations Coordinators.
The Faculty of Theatre is a member of the International Federation for Theatre Research IFTR (an
international organisation whose aim is to bring together academics involved in theatre research; it
currently brings together members from a total of 44 countries around the world), the European
Network on Cultural Management and Policy ENCATC (an international network including
professionals from over 100 member organisations from 40 countries around the world focusing on
education, research and development in the field of cultural management and politics) and Europe:
Union of Theatre Schools and Academies (E:UTSA) (an association of European theatre schools,
which primarily supports student theatre projects and the networking of theatre school students; it
currently has 16 members from 14 European countries).
Teaching and stays of foreign teachers at JAMU
Every year, the FoM and the FoT are visited by dozens of foreign teachers and experts from a
19
Self-evaluation Report Form
number of countries around the world, either under the ERASMUS+ programme or with the support
of other grant schemes (Arts Development Fund, Operational Programme Research, Development
and Education, etc.), and for the purpose of giving lectures and conducting workshops within the
framework of individual projects funded, for example, under the internal grant scheme of the
Education and Arts Development Fund or development programmes supported by the Ministry of
Education focused on internationalisation. In addition, foreign artists are also on the jury of the Leoš
Janáček International Competition and the Setkání/Encounter International Theatre School Festival.
In this case, however, most of the stays concern primarily educational and artistic activities, albeit
with an overlap into the research or art-research field. (For a complete overview of JAMU foreign
mobility see appendix 4.20).
Teaching and stays of JAMU teachers and staff abroad
Similarly, teachers and employees of the FoM and the FoT also take part in mobility, among other
things within the ERASMUS+ programme or research trips undertaken within the project supported
by the RDF.
Student trips abroad
As part of the ERASMUS+ programme, a number of students travel abroad for a study stay or work
placement each year. Other short-term trips of students abroad take place to participate in
international competitions and festivals, conferences, or to present their own creative and research
activities. In the case of research activities, the dominant support for these mobilities results from
the funds provided in the Student Grant Competition.
International students – stays at JAMU
Foreign students also stay at both faculties in order to complete a study placement. E.g. in 2018, a
total of 17 foreign students from 9 countries came to study at the Faculty of Music of JAMU. Of
these, 9 students stayed under the ERASMUS+ programme (1 Estonia, 2 Poland, 2 Romania, 1
Slovakia, 2 Spain, 1 Turkey), 3 on the basis of an intergovernmental scholarship (1 Japan, 2 Taiwan)
and 5 in the Lifelong Learning Programme (1 China, 4 Japan). At the FoT, there is the Bridging East
and West programme, which is designed for incoming foreign students, organised within the
separate Erasmus Gang studio.
International master interpretation courses and interpretation courses for students from Kyoto,
Japan are also an important part of internationalisation at the FoM – both events are held annually
and attended by many foreign students. Foreign students from theatre schools from all over the
world come to the selective international festival Setkání/Encounter. (See appendix 4.21).

HUMAN RESOURCES AND CAREERS IN R&D&I
4.14 System for career growth for academic staff and researchers
The university describes the system for career growth for academic staff and researchers. It
presents information on long-term placements for own academic staff abroad, and for foreign
academics at the evaluated university (i.e. sabbaticals, whether there are particular regulations or a
support system); international selection procedures; regulations for career growth; mentoring (if
any); the transparent distribution of institutional Full Time Equivalents (FTEs); its position on
successive contracts and senior academic posts; arrangements for staff to return after placements
20
Self-evaluation Report Form
at external workplaces, including abroad; any other information the university considers relevant. It
provides a link to any career regulations or similar document (if any).
Self-evaluation:
Since 2019, the rules and conditions of career growth of JAMU academic staff, including researchers,
have been regulated by the JAMU Career Code. In agreement with his/her supervisor and in
accordance with the personnel plan taking into account the educational and creative activities of
each JAMU unit, each employee will get a career growth outlook and an overview of the goals to be
fulfilled, and JAMU will commit to support him/her in the career growth. We expect this innovation
to give all employees a clear picture of their future and the challenges they need to accomplish to
achieve career growth.
The Career Code is followed by the Rules of Habilitation Proceedings and Proceedings for the
Appointment of Professors, which regulate the rules and conditions for the award of artistic and
pedagogical degrees of associate professor and professor as the main evidence of career growth.
The system of selection procedures at JAMU is implemented in accordance with the internal
regulations of JAMU entitled Regulations for the Selection of Academic Staff dated 2017, which
apply to both domestic and foreign employees. (See appendix 4.22).
JAMU’s Internal Wage Regulations allow academic staff to take sabbatical leave of six months every
seven years, unless serious circumstances related to the performance of JAMU’s educational tasks
prevent it. However, no employee has ever used this possibility, probably because they were
prevented by educational tasks at JAMU, i.e. it was not possible to find a suitable substitute for
them during their creative leave.
Again, however, it should be stressed that JAMU has a very small number of pure researchers.
There are no employees in this position at the FoM and research activities form part of the wider
creative work of academic staff and include not only purely scientific/research activities, but also
artistic research and, consequently, a wide range of artistic activities. Researchers concentrate at
the FoT in the Department of Theatre and Drama Research (see sections 4.1 and 4.3 of this module)
and are also educators of individual studios who, in addition to teaching and artistic creative
activities, are also involved in research. An overview of the FoT academics and researchers, including
the number, rank, and the amount and length of FTEs, is given in appendix 4.23.
Since a significant part of the institutional support of JAMU’s research activities is distributed
through an open project competition with the results and minutes of the selection committee
available to all employees in the internal information system, the system of managing this support
can be described as maximally transparent. This procedure also effectively prevents any chaining of
contracts. The management of part of the support allocated to the faculties is controlled by the
Academic Senates of the faculties (composed of teachers and students), which approve the faculty
budget and supervise the effectiveness and economy of the management of the allocated funds.
The functioning of the recently approved Career Code can only be assessed after a few years, but we
are already convinced that the system of career growth of academic and research staff and the
system of managing institutional support in relation to personnel matters are set up correctly and
maximally transparently, and enable the development of skills of each employee.

Self-evaluation Report Form
4.15 Evaluation system of academic staff and researchers and filling key positions in R&D&I
The university gives a concise account of its evaluation system of academic staff and researchers
(the basic rules and principles for internal evaluation) and the rules for filling senior positions in
relation to R&D&I.
Self-evaluation:
With the introduction of the Career Code (2019), transparent rules of personnel work, including the
evaluation system, also came into force at JAMU. Each employee’s career plan is elaborated for 5
years and each year, after meeting with the employee, the supervisor evaluates the fulfilment of the
career plan and eventually suggests any changes.
Financial remuneration, which is governed by the Internal Wage Regulations of JAMU, is also
derived from the performance of work tasks and career plans.
Researchers, however, are affected by these rules to a very limited extent because, as has already
been mentioned, there are only a minimum number of researcher FTEs (in the order of one-digit
number of employees of the Department of Theatre and Drama Research of the Faculty of Theatre);
on the contrary, most have primarily teaching jobs, or they are remunerated as part of the Research
Development Fund projects. Employees are thus remunerated for research activities beyond their
workload (or for research outputs, especially book publications, articles in specialised journals,
papers at conferences with publications in anthologies) from the funds of institutional support,
based on a proposal prepared by the Vice-Dean for Research, which is subsequently approved by
the Dean’s College. In this way, remuneration for specific scientific outputs, registered in the
national database known as the Information Register of R&D Results (RIV), is paid out to particular
recipients.
Due to the size of JAMU, i.e. its faculties, a system for the selection of senior staff in the R&D field is
not relevant. In accordance with the Higher Education Act, the competent Vice-Rector/Vice-Dean is
appointed by the Rector/Dean, who is elected by the representatives of the academic community in
the Academic Senate of JAMU/the relevant faculty. The appointed Vice-Dean coordinates all
research activities at the faculty and our (relatively) small size does not require and in fact does not
allow the creation of any additional management positions. The Vice-Rector then strategically
manages and coordinates the entire JAMU’s research activities, is responsible for the economical
and efficient use of the provided subsidies and contributions at JAMU, supervises adherence to legal
and sub-legal rules, and coordinates JAMU’s external research relations.

4.16 Recruitment system for academic staff and researchers from the external environment
The university gives a concise account of its recruitment system for academic workers from the
external environment, especially from other countries (if there is any such system at faculty or
university level).
Self-evaluation:
JAMU does not have a system of the “recruitment” type; hiring academics is based on an impartial
selection procedure, i.e. the above-described system, in accordance with the internal regulations of
JAMU entitled Regulations for the Selection of Academic Staff dated 2017.
We do not intend to change the current situation, where only a minimal number of researchers
work at JAMU, and it fully meets our conditions of a relatively small research organisation and
primarily an art university.
Academic staff are selected on the basis of open selection procedures with clearly specified
22
Self-evaluation Report Form
selection criteria, in which persons unrelated (in terms of studies or previous work) with JAMU
frequently apply and often succeed.
We do not specifically seek foreign employees because the vast majority of our study programmes
are accredited only for teaching in Czech, so they require knowledge of the Czech language, which is
a prerequisite that cannot be met by the vast majority of foreign professionals.
At the same time, however, we realise that we still have considerable reserves in the
internationalisation of the internal environment and that we should improve in this regard, both by
accreditation of English-language study programmes and by employing foreign experts through
filling the positions of associate professors. This objective will be included in the Strategic Plan for
the Development of JAMU for 2021-30, which is currently under development, and is fully in line
with the similarly focused strategic plan of the Czech Ministry of Education for the area of all
universities.

Self-evaluation Report Form
4.17 Human resources structure
In the appendix the university describes the current situation, age structure and development trend
for staff contributing to R&D&I, and their structure by job classification and gender in the 2014–
2018 reporting period (tables 4.17.1 and 4.17.2), including workers who are foreign nationals (apart
from Slovak nationals) contributing to the university’s R&D&I (table 4.17.3).
The university states whether it holds an HR Award, or whether the university aims to receive one
and how it is done.
Self-evaluation:
The aim of JAMU is to build a long-term structure of human resources in such a way that it is equally
balanced in terms of age and gender representation. This criterion was being implemented more
and more effectively in the reporting period. In this respect, JAMU (see tables) in the reporting
period (or in the long term) records neither significant fluctuations nor any negative trend. Within
the scope of financial and capacity possibilities, new employees are given space, while existing ones
are achieving career growth (positions of associate professors and professors). The ratio of men and
women is even in most positions.
JAMU does not endeavour to obtain the HR Award because this award is primarily designed for
research institutions, not specific art universities of our type and size. Nevertheless, we consider the
principles of the HR Award to be both correct and necessary, and they inspire us in our personnel
work.

4.18 Gender equality measures
The university gives a concise account of measures concerning the implementation of gender
equality in the areas required for evaluation criteria 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16, highlighting the career
path, the recruitment process, the filling of senior positions (including gender equality in senior
positions; tables 4.18.1 and 4.18.2), nominations to professional bodies, the evaluation system and
remuneration. It also gives a concise account of measures to harmonise family life and work for
researchers (flexible working hours, flexible forms of work, management of maternity / parental
leave, facilitating child care and care for family members, age management in relation to gender)
and measures to eliminate negative behaviour in the workplace such as mobbing or sexual
harassment.
Self-evaluation:
At JAMU, an equal approach to job selection (including senior positions), career advancement,
appointment to expert bodies, financial remuneration, etc., is consistently pursued, both in terms of
gender balance and in relation to equal treatment with regard to religious beliefs, sexual
orientation, race, nationality, etc. At JAMU, the practice of the so-called home office is supported
and commonly used, in agreement between the employee and his/her superior, which enables,
inter alia, to achieve a balance between work and parental responsibilities. Equally, the
management of the institution strives to approach the specific requirements of the employee
(resulting from his/her parental responsibilities, care for a close relative, health restrictions, etc.) in
an individual manner so as to enable the employee to reconcile the above life situations with work
performance. This is enabled by the specific nature of working at a university of our type with a
significant share of flexible working time.
The above, including the issue of sexual harassment and mobbing, is dealt with at JAMU in the Code
of Ethics of JAMU, which also regulates the possibilities of filing a complaint for investigation and
procedures for its resolution. (see appendix 4.24)

Gender equilibrium is also taken into account when filling senior positions, and in most cases it is
successful, as evidenced by the increasing representation of women in the Rector’s/Dean’s Colleges
and Arts Councils, and even in elected bodies – Academic Senates.

FUNDING FOR R&D&I
4.19 Structure of funding for R&D&I
The university comments on the proportions of total costs/expenditure paid from public and nonpublic
sources by the type of R&D&I in the 2014–2018 reporting period according to table 4.19.1 in
the appendix.
As complementary data to the tables 4.19.2, 4.19.3 and 4.19.4 in the appendix, the university
presents an overview of research projects obtained in the 2014–2018 reporting period, with
information on the level of funding raised and whether these were solo or collaborative projects. It
briefly comments on the data in the tables.
The university also lists the five most significant projects from the aforementioned list of prestigious
international individual projects (ERC3
, MSCA4
, HHMI5
, HFSP6
, NSF7
, etc.) with basic information (at
the university’s discretion and regardless of who the provider is: title, specialisation, agency, level of
funding, other project participants and any other relevant information).
Self-evaluation:
The costs related to the JAMU research activities are covered exclusively from public sources.
In addition to funds for basic research from the institutional support for long-term conceptual
development of the research organisation and grants for specific university research distributed at
JAMU within the Student Grant Competition, the support of our teachers’ projects by the Czech
Science Foundation also constituted a major source of income in the reporting period (see Module 3
of both faculties). At the end of that period, the school received funding for applied research under
the ETA Programme of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (see Module 3 of the Faculty of
Theatre of JAMU, section 3.2). Due to our size and primarily artistic focus, we are extremely
successful in obtaining support in the grant competitions of these two main national grant agencies
(see table 4.19.3 for an overview of projects executed in the reporting period).
The vast majority of funds for R&D at JAMU are intended for basic research (institutional support,
the Student Grant Competition); only projects supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech
Republic fall into the category of applied research.
JAMU seeks to acquire prestigious individual projects abroad primarily in the field of art and our
teachers have repeatedly successfully participated in international projects. Similar research
activities are not our ambition.

4.20 Support for obtaining foreign research projects
(including the strategy for obtaining prestigious foreign funding for R&D&I)
The university gives a concise account of its strategy, tools and support system for obtaining foreign
research projects, e.g. arrangements for administrative support, project counselling, management
of information on R&D&I, organising project management, the existence of auxiliary funding
(internal subsidies) to help produce quality applications, etc.
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specifics of JAMU, whose primary task is pedagogical and creative activities in the field of
art, there is no special activity in the field of foreign research grants, and we have not developed any
strategy to support development in this area.
It has already been mentioned that the aim of JAMU is not to create priority research areas binding
for the whole institution, but rather to support JAMU staff in the development of their own research
activities (in particular by granting support within the internal project competitions, namely the
Student Grant Competition and the Research Development Fund, and by providing methodological
and administrative background for submitting projects to national grant agencies, the Czech Science
Foundation and the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic). If any of the JAMU employees felt
the need or had the opportunity to seek support from prestigious foreign grant agencies in their
research, we would try to accommodate them and provide them with the maximum background,
but we do not specifically call on employees to do so.
On the other hand, our students and staff are very active and successful in the field of international
art projects and eventually getting support for their execution, and JAMU and its faculties are an
award-winning, sought-after partner of many projects. We intend to develop further in this area and
it is a priority for us.

FORMATIVE EVALUATION OF R&D&I AND THE START-UP STRATEGY (WITH POTENTIAL FOR
APPLICATION)
4.21 Internal and external system for evaluating research units
(groups, teams, departments, institutes)
The university gives a concise account of the system for the internal and external evaluation of
research units, and the internal and external system for monitoring / evaluating research teams /
groups / departments / institutes (if there is such a system).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the previously mentioned specifics of research activities at JAMU (dominant individual
research projects and relatively small size of the institution), the question of evaluation of research
units is not relevant to us.
Research activities are part of a wide range of creative activities in all departments and studios of
the school, and therefore internal and external evaluation of research is part of general evaluation
mechanisms. Evaluation of research activities is carried out on the basis of regular internal
evaluation of selected quantitative and qualitative parameters (results applied in the national
Information Register of R&D Results (RIV) or in the Register of Artistic Outputs for Artistic Research
Results; effectiveness of projects implemented with the support of the SGC and the RDF; success in
external grant procedures), all at the level of faculties and subsequently at the level of the whole
27
Self-evaluation Report Form
JAMU. All standard bodies of our university are involved in the quality assessment: the Academic
Senates, the Rector’s and Dean’s Colleges, the Arts Councils, study boards. Research evaluation is
thus carried out within the standard procedures of the quality management system set up both at
JAMU level and at both faculties. The external evaluation of research activities is now underway
within the new Methodology 17+.
In addition, individual staff assessments are carried out using the procedures described in clauses
4.14 and 4.15.
Research units at our school rather take the form of “art units”, which are established for individual
art projects, but are often transformed into permanent music or theatre ensembles. However, since
Methodology 17+ does not recognise artistic work as an equivalent to scientific knowledge of the
world, this activity is not relevant to this clause.

4.22 Conditions for setting up new teams and introducing new research topics
(start-up strategy)
The university describes its strategy / options for setting up new research teams (including
international teams), support for their work at the university (sharing instruments, laboratories and
information equipment for R&D&I) and the policy for ensuring conditions in place for the creation of
new high-quality research focuses / topics, above all with potential for application.
Self-evaluation:
Due to the above-mentioned specifics of research activities at JAMU, the creation of any start-up
strategy is neither a goal nor a relevant criterion.
Our internal grant systems (the Student Grant Competition, the Research Development Fund) allow
to support projects with more researchers (research team) and support them for up to three years;
however, multiple-member research teams are created only exceptionally. A similar situation
applies in the case of external grants provided by the Czech Science Foundation or the Technology
Agency of the Czech Republic.
A specific feature of the research at JAMU is also the fact that it usually does not require any special
and technically demanding laboratory instrumentation, and most researchers are able to use the
usual office or other technology (video cameras, cameras, recording equipment), with which we are
sufficiently equipped.
For projects that overlap into practical artistic research, we have our music and theatre rehearsal
rooms and stage spaces (the Orlí Street Theatre, Marta Studio), which can be made available to
researchers if necessary; our professionally equipped recording studio can also be used.
In addition, within our internal grant competitions, we can, if necessary, obtain financial support for
the purchase of special equipment or specialised software (as well as for covering personnel costs,
travel expenses, services, material purchase, payment of conference fees, purchase of specialised
literature, etc.).
Nevertheless, in accordance with the requirement for basic academic freedoms, the choice of
research topics is fully left to the individual researchers. Within the aforementioned grant
competitions, the submitted projects take into account the topicality, expertise or degree of
innovativeness of the submitted topics. However, we consider the potential for application only
exceptionally, as most of our projects have parameters of basic or artistic research, where the
application is possible only secondarily, rather as an inspiration than direct application.

4.23 External advisory bodies for R&D&I, independent feedback for R&D&I
The university gives a concise account of its external advisory body for R&D&I (if any), e.g. an
international scientific council.
29
Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
There are no international scientific councils established at JAMU or its faculties, but there are Arts
Councils composed of internal and external experts (mostly from the artistic field), which, within the
scope of their powers under the Higher Education Act, provide the school with feedback and
evaluation of its activities.
However, in the past, several external comprehensive evaluations of JAMU’s activities were carried
out by the International Evaluation Panel and, in March this year, another evaluation will be carried
out by MusiQuE and EQ-arts (see appendices 4.25 and 4.26 for self-evaluation reports).
In 2000-2001, the first external evaluation of the quality of educational and creative activities took
place at JAMU. This training and the subsequent JAMU quality assessment process took place as a
sub-project Quality Management of the SCART Project (Structured Cooperation of Art Education
between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands). The Dutch Frame of Reference of the Council for
Higher Vocational Education in combination with the European Foundation for Quality Management
(EFQM) model was used to collect the background material for the self-evaluation report.
In 2007, the Internal Evaluation Report of the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU was prepared according to
the faculty’s own syllabus, which was based on the structure of the Final Report of the SCART subproject
Quality Management and the Sub-Project Report No. 6 “Qualitative elements of higher
education funding”. In 2013, a pilot verification of the modified EFQM methodology took place in
the Studio of Theatre and Education and subsequently in 2014 in the Studio of Stage Design. The
verification concerned the educational activities of the studios and students and teachers of the
studios were involved in it.
In 2016, the Internal Evaluation Report for the period 2011-2015 was drawn up at the FoT based on
previous experience and results gained in the KREDO project; in 2017 its update for 2016 was made.

RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE
4.24 System for acquiring and renewing instruments and equipment for R&D&I
The university describes its system for acquiring / optimising the acquisition of expensive
instruments and equipment and the renewal of older expensive instruments. It briefly comments on
the data from the appendix (table 4.24.1).
Self-evaluation:
Due to the specifics of research at JAMU and generally the nature of research in the field of arts and
humanities, expensive instruments and equipment are not purchased for the purpose of research at
JAMU. More expensive instruments for the fields of composition/multimedia composition serve
primarily artistic creative activities, as well as state-of-the-art stage technologies in our theatres (the
Orlí Street Theatre, Marta Studio) or recording studio. These technologies and instruments have
been significantly upgraded in recent years, with the support of European funds (operational
programmes), so that no major investment will be required in the near future, just routine renewal
and innovation.
In the case of some specific projects whose technological requirements exceed the current
equipment, either the standard equipment is rented (Vladimír Burian, project "Stage space analysis
using a luminance map"; the instrumentation capacities of the Brno University of Technology were
used) or cooperation with partner universities (Lucia Repašská, project “Development of
communication skills using a new educational methodology, based on objective evaluation of
performer and recipient biosignals” (using the technological background of the Brno University of
Technology and the HUME Lab of Masaryk University in Brno).
In summary, in terms of technology, JAMU is well-equipped for the performance of artistic creation
and usually does not require any special equipment for research activities, or is able to acquire it
thanks to cooperation with other entities.

4.25 System for sharing instruments and equipment for R&D&I
The university outlines the internal organisation of its research infrastructure (technologies,
expensive instruments and instrument sets). It describes its system for sharing (including sharing
with external research organisations and researchers) expensive instruments and instrument sets,
i.e. its core facilities (if there is such a system) and the sharing of instruments and instrument sets.
Self-evaluation:
The system does not exist at JAMU for the reasons explained in clause 4.24.
If we counted artistic creation in the research as creative cognition of the world (which is not
allowed by Methodology 17+), then we could describe the system of utilisation of our artistic
infrastructure and technical equipment (tools, rehearsal rooms, studios, theatres), which are
basically available to all persons interested as needed, of course given the priority status of
educational responsibilities and the development of school projects. This is especially true for
internal candidates; we usually do not make our equipment available to external entities (except for
occasional rentals of theatres or the recording studio), mainly due to capacity reasons (we need our
facilities for internal activities).

GOOD PRACTICE IN R&D&I
4.26 Internal regulations and measures for maintaining good practice in R&D&I
(e.g. Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, ethical issues)
The university gives a concise account of how it oversees compliance with the ethical aspects of
R&D&I. It presents a brief description of the system (which may include links to the statute and rules
of procedure for the ethics committee(s), if there are any), e.g. in connection with the European
Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
Self-evaluation:
Research at JAMU is always carried out with respect to ethical principles and the topic of ethics of
scientific work is an integral part of the study plans of doctoral study programmes at both faculties
of JAMU. Students of lower levels of education are acquainted with the basic ethical principles in the
introductory courses and in individual seminars on the methodology of the Bachelor’s or Master’s
thesis.
The nature of the research activities carried out at JAMU does not require the existence of a special
ethics committee (such as in medical fields or natural sciences), so we do not plan to establish it.
In the reporting period, there was no conduct that would have to be evaluated in terms of ethics of
scientific work.
The basic ethical rules of conduct of JAMU staff, including all research activities, are regulated by the
JAMU Code of Ethics (see appendix 4.27), which also specifies procedures in the case of suspected
violation.

4.27 Open Access strategy for information from R&D&I
(Open Access)
The university gives a concise account of its institutional strategy for Open Science 2.0/Open Access
(if any), including e.g. the operation of an institutional repository or other tools.
Self-evaluation:
The dominant form of outputs of research activities at JAMU are professional publications
(professional monographs, articles in journals and anthologies, chapters in monographs), which are
often accompanied by other presentation or popularisation activities (public lectures, conference
contributions, exhibitions, reviews, etc.). By their nature, these outputs are publicly accessible, as
they are intended for the (professional) public.
The results published in external journals are governed by the rules of these journals, and in
accordance with the national open access strategy, all Czech journals are gradually transiting to
open access to information, i.e. permanent, immediate and free online access to full texts of
published scientific results based on the awareness of the importance of making new knowledge
and experience available to both the professional and general public.
This strategy also governs our two Internet periodicals publishing professional studies and
publications from projects of students and teachers of JAMU (JAMUsica at the FoM and the
Academic Studies of the Faculty of Theatre of JAMU at the FoT, which are a separate part of the
faculty magazine Ateliér 205).
This strategy is also supported by the organisation of publishing the research results by the JAMU
Publishing House, which offers publications to the general public via an e-shop, at a price
approximately covering production costs. The FoM also publishes the electronic professional journal
JAMUsica, which is freely accessible via the Internet. There is also open and free access to other
research and popularisation publications, such as electronic anthologies from international
33
Self-evaluation Report Form
conferences and specialised multimedia publications. The platform for publishing these outputs is
the website of the school, faculty or the JAMU Publishing House and related thematic websites
(Department of Theatre and Drama Research, conferences, etc.).
All theses (Bachelor’s, diploma, doctoral) are also available to the public free of charge online in the
JAMU information system and in the JAMU Library catalogue.
Publications (professional monographs) published by the JAMU Publishing House are in most cases
subject to a fee, the price covers only pre-printing and printing costs (typesetting, licence for works
used, printing, paper) and does not generate any profit for the school; this approach is also in line
with the national open access strategy. We always try to set the prices so that the publications are
as accessible as possible, especially for students, who, in addition, can occasionally use special
discounts and purchase our book production at up to half the normal price. We do not currently
prefer the option of publishing our monographs by electronic means only, as we believe that even
today printed books have their importance, as they, for example, make reading easier for many
readers or are artefacts of a high artistic value in and of themselves.
The outcomes of artistic activities, which can also be the outcomes of research or art-research
projects, are inherently open to the public as they are primarily intended for the public. Depending
on the nature and type of the project, these outputs are sometimes available free of charge (e.g.
street theatre, site-specific projects, concerts in public areas, art-pedagogical projects at lower-level
schools), sometimes for an admission, which is usually only symbolic and covers the necessary costs
(rent, energy, stage equipment) and a minimum fee for the performers (musicians, actors).
We consider this approach right, as it allows maximum access to the outputs of our research and
artistic activities, and we do not intend to change it significantly in the coming years.

4.28 Data Management strategy for research data
(Data Management)
The university describes its policy for managing research data, e.g. comments on how data is
collected, made accessible and shared; intellectual property protection; personal data ethics and
protection; archiving; backup; risk management; responsibility for datasets; quality assurance, etc.
Self-evaluation:
In view of the specifics of the research activities carried out at JAMU, no research data of this nature
are produced here.
The dominant form of research at our university is the analysis of works of art, which in themselves
are specific research data available from the nature of their existence to the public, although in the
case of living arts (e.g. concerts, theatre performances), often only temporarily (or later in a reduced
form as recordings).
The method of publishing the outputs of our research activities is described in clause 4.27.
The copyright of teachers and students in the case of their extracurricular work is protected through
representation by the Performing and Mechanical Rights Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers, otherwise known as OSA (if a teacher or student asks OSA to represent him/her and OSA
accepts the representation based on the submitted documents) or by a theatre agency (DILIA,
Aurapont). In the case of school works (created as part of the fulfilment of study obligations), the
possibilities of using the given work and copyright protection are governed by the relevant licence
agreement that each student signs at the beginning of their studies. The principles of dealing with
copyright and rights related to copyright in the case of school and extracurricular works are
described in section 3.8 of Module 3 – faculty self-evaluation reports.
The protection of personal data is dealt with in an internal regulation entitled Data Protection
Guidelines (see appendix 4.27).
Therefore, JAMU has also taken all necessary measures in this area and in the near future does not
consider it necessary to initiate a fundamental change.

MODULE 5 STRATEGY AND POLICIES
R&D&I MISSION AND VISION
5.1 The evaluated institution’s R&D&I mission and vision
The university gives a concise account of its vision and general mission for R&D&I (in the context of
its education function and the strategy for university education under state policy or the relevant
ministry, and comparing the mission as defined with the true situation). It supplements this account
with active links to its strategic plan for teaching, scientific, research, development, innovation,
artistic or other creative activity, and any update of this plan.
Self-evaluation:
The main mission of JAMU is education in the field of music and dramatic arts, developing artistic
talents of its students, performance of creative activities, i.e. artistic and research creation and
interconnection of artistic education, artistic creation and artistic research and research through art.
JAMU is fully aware of its responsibility for developing the tradition of higher art education in the
Czech Republic as well as for the development of Czech and international art and culture, and
subordinates all its activities to this task.
Through quality research we want to:
- contribute to the development of JAMU in the field of creative and pedagogical activities;
- profile the institution as an excellent centre for both artistic research and research through art
(i.e. an area that pure art institutions cannot pursue to a larger extent);
- create a background for the growth of top artistic personalities capable of carrying out, in
addition to their artistic work, a quality theoretical reflection of artistic phenomena and artistic
activities;
- rank fully alongside other academic institutions that conduct artistic research in the Czech
Republic (and also abroad);
- contribute to the development of our doctoral study programmes.
We intend to internationalise and develop all of the above, especially in terms of a higher quality,
not quantity.

R&D&I OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
5.2 Research objectives and strategies before the next evaluation
The university gives a concise account of its research strategy and objectives (e.g. specificity,
feasibility, the international context of its strategic plan for teaching, scientific, research,
development, innovation, artistic or other creative activity, and any update of this plan). Also
relevant is an account of how society and the market’s needs have been identified.
47
Self-evaluation Report Form
Self-evaluation:
• Strengthening internationalisation – JAMU’s priority objective is to significantly intensify the
internationalisation of research as well as overall creative activities. We are convinced that
our research (as well as artistic creative activities) is of high quality, but we have great
reserves in presenting its results abroad. By strengthening internationalisation in this area,
we want not only to improve the foreign perception of JAMU, but much more: to expose
our creators and the results of their activities to foreign colleagues, thus giving our creators
irreplaceable feedback and a stimulus for further development; to be in close contact with
current world trends, to be inspired by them and to transmit incentives to our creative
activities and pedagogical work. Although most of our research topics are local and closely
tied to Czech culture and the Czech language environment, we believe that, at least as an
analogy, they can also be stimulating for our foreign colleagues.
• Creation of a long-term concept of research development – unambiguously defining
objectives and controllable outputs aimed at developing the research area at JAMU.
Possible definition of research topics or lines will be within the competence of the faculties
and will take into account the specifics of our research activities, i.e. especially the distinctly
individual approach of individual researchers. The concept will be based on the conclusions
of the evaluation by the International Evaluation Panel.
• Strengthening organisational and motivational elements supporting the development of
research – to consistently use existing processes (the Career Code, the Rules of Habilitation
Proceedings and Proceedings for the Appointment of Professors, internal grant
competitions) to support research development, i.e. more involvement of JAMU staff in
research activities (in addition to dominant artistic activities).
• Increase teachers’ interest in participating in major national and international project
competitions and achieve higher success rates (which are already above-average) in both
basic and applied research projects.
• Intensively develop and continuously innovate internal grant competitions to support
research in order to support the highest quality research projects and their authors.
• Artistic research – continue to strive for the gradual creation of the methodology of artistic
research in the specific conditions of the art school and to define the basic range of possible
outputs based on artistic research. This activity will be based both on the internal
environment of JAMU’s art disciplines and on interdisciplinary discussions with other art
universities.
• Doctoral studies – to develop new concepts of our doctoral study programmes and obtain
state accreditation for their realisation; the priority will be to significantly strengthen the
international dimension of studies.
• Social impact – significantly improve the external promotion of our research activities and
their outputs as well as the external impact of our researchers (lectures, popularisation).

R&D&I NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
5.3 Relation to higher national and supranational strategic goals and measures for R&D&I
The university gives a concise account of how its R&D&I policies relate to meeting higher national
and supranational strategic goals and measures for R&D&I in the context of the currently applicable
documents, e.g. the European Commission’s Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and
inclusive growth, the National Research, Development and Innovations Policy for 2016–2020, the
National Priorities for Research, Experimental Development and Innovations, the National Research
and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (National RIS3 Strategy), etc.
Self-evaluation:
Artistic research and research through art are a priority for us; however, in terms of national
research development strategies, this is a marginal area. In the National Research Priorities, our
research activities fall within Priority Area 3.4. Social and cultural challenges and its areas 3. Culture,
values, identity and tradition and 4. Development and realisation of human potential, with priority
being for us in particular objective 3.2.3 Creative historical and theoretical reflection of artistic
creation, and in terms of educational activities objective 4.1.1 Set new educational goals.
Although the priority research topics of the Czech Republic are completely outside the scope of our
activities, we have no doubt that research activities in our area can make a significant contribution
to the development of our society and to improving the quality of life. We prefer to fulfil these goals
by our artistic creation or education of the new art generation, but we do not question the
importance of research.

5.4 Strategy and strategic management tools to improve the international or sectoral
competitiveness of the university’s research work and quality
The university gives a concise account of its strategy and strategic management tools to increase the
international or sectoral competitiveness of the university’s research activity and quality. In an
appendix it lists the most significant international evaluations for R&D&I it has taken part in. It also
sets out its vision and strategy for the next five-year period.
Self-evaluation:
Strategic management tools for increasing the international or sectoral competitiveness of the
university’s research activities and quality and, in general, the quality of all our activities have been
set up correctly: these are all bodies, activities and strategic documents that concern this area
(school and faculty management, Arts Councils, Boards of Governors, Internal Evaluation Board,
study boards, Rector’s and Dean’s Colleges, regularly updated strategic plans, internal grant
competitions, career growth rules, providing methodological support to researchers, etc.). All bodies
have clearly defined powers and responsibilities and have a clearly defined position in the quality
assurance and improvement system.
The strategy for the future is therefore not to create new bodies or regulations, but to make
maximum use of the existing ones, with the aim of systematically and intensively promoting a
culture of universal and, at all levels, supported improvement of the quality of all our activities – to
fill the whole JAMU and all its employees with the need to improve quality and with awareness of
personal responsibility for improving it; quality cannot be the responsibility of only one employee or
body, it is up to each individual employee in his or her own area. Therefore, our strategy for the next
five years is (in addition to all the above objectives) to ensure that this approach is adopted by the
maximum number of staff possible – the consequence will be that the quality of JAMU as an
49
Self-evaluation Report Form
institution will start to improve.

50
Self-evaluation Report Form
TOOLS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE RESEARCH STRATEGY
5.5 Institutional tools for implementing the research strategy, emphasising support of quality
R&D&I and the innovation environment
The university describes its institutional and strategic tools (e.g. strategic management tools, tools
created to support the achievement of research objectives, legal and organisational regulations
related to support of R&D&I, etc.) aimed at implementing its research strategy, with the emphasis
on supporting quality of R&D&I and the innovation environment.
Self-evaluation:
See also clause 5.4. We have sufficient institutional and strategic tools to cover all areas: from
clearly defined purposes, responsibilities and powers of individual bodies, through transparent and
unambiguous rules of career growth and support, to internal project competitions supporting
individual researchers and their research objectives. All of this has been described in detail in the
preceding clauses. Our strategic goal is not to create new bodies or regulations, but to make
maximum use of the existing ones, or their partial innovations after evaluating the experience with
their activities.
The need to create an atmosphere of personal responsibility for improving quality at all positions
and levels of school activities and for all staff at JAMU, described in clause 5.4, can be fulfilled via all
the institutional tools mentioned, but of course also by informal and non-institutional tools –
personal interviews, personal examples, personal responsibility. These tools are also crucial to
support the school’s quality (research) environment – but they are difficult to create and manage
institutionally.
At the institutional level, state support for artistic research and research at art universities should
fundamentally change, including the evaluation methodology and the research support system, but
as a marginal player in the field of university research we have very limited opportunities to achieve
a positive outcome.

SUPPLEMENT 2 TO THE SELF-EVALUATION REPORT
INTRODUCTION
Evaluation of research organisations is comprised of five modules. Module 1 (Quality of selected results)
and Module 2 (Efficiency of research) are carried out by the Research, Development and Innovation
Council (“the R&D&I Council”) on a central level.
In Module 1, more than 5000 results selected by the Universities, were assessed. The reviewers evaluated
the results based on two criteria: “social relevance” (55 % of the selected results) and “contribution to
knowledge”. Fields of Research and Development 5 – Social Sciences and 6 – Humanities and the Arts
(approx. 50% of the selected results) were extensively represented. In Module 2, the results registered in
2016-2017 were included in the analysis.
As it is established in the Methodology for Evaluating Research Organisations and Research, Development
and Innovation Purpose-tied Aid Programmes, R&D&I Council proposed aggregated evaluation of
research in the Universities segment, based upon Module 1 and Module 2. In the implementation period,
this evaluation is tentative. Not all Universities were included. The inclusion criteria were: the number of
assessed selected results in Module 1 and the significance of the bibliometric analysis in Module 2. The
full evaluation (including Universities, for which R&D&I council did not provide proposed aggregated
evaluation) will be completed after assessing Modules 3-5 at a provider level.
This supplement provides context for the evaluation in Modules 3-5. It informs the International
Evaluation Panel about the quality of the selected results and the research performance at a selected
University. However, the International Evaluation Panel does not assess the University based on its results
in Module 1 and Module 2.
EVALUATION OF THE UNIVERSITY IN M1 AND M2
Aggregated Evaluation of the University in M1 and M2
The University is to attach aggregated evaluation of research in M1 and M2 provided by the R&D&I
Council. The University, for which R&D&I council did not provide proposed aggregated evaluation,
states this information.
JAMU as a research organisation for which publications in journals with high impact factors is not a
relevant quality indicator was not evaluated against the biobliometric criteria.

Additional Information
The University is to provide additional information of its own choice from the evaluation in M1 and
M2, provided by the R&D&I Council.
Materials are available at https://hodnoceni18.rvvi.cz/www/nebiblio (Module 1) and
https://hodnoceni18.rvvi.cz/www/biblio-vo (Module 2).
In M1, JAMU had 5 evaluated results (monographs), of which two obtained grade 3 (defined as “a
result recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour”) and three obtained
grade 4 (“a result recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour”). The
evaluation of JAMU is thus similar to other arts universities. JAMU agrees with the conclusions of
the evaluation panel of the 6th
field of research (Humanities and Arts): “It can be concluded that the
second year (2019) of implementation of M17+ has brought valid results that may be used for the
evaluation of a research organisation (RO) in Module 1, 6th
field of research, in the long-term run. So
far, data for two years are available. In humanities and arts (6th
field of research), this a too short
period due to the fact that the creation of excellent publication results needs more time. The
selection of a two-year production of a RO within M1 thus is not a sufficiently representative
sample; we need data from the entire five-year cycle to that end.” Because the evaluation methods
applied are new and have been used for a short time, it would be premature to draw any substantial
conclusions from the evaluation results. It is our belief that JAMU is capable of producing also
results with grade 2 (“a result that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and
rigour but which falls short of the highest standards of excellence”) or even 1 (“a result that is
world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour”), which is our aim and which has been
confirmed by our outcomes. We trust that the evaluation system (as well as the work of the
evaluators and evaluation panel) can be optimized in future years in order to eliminate errors and
inaccuracies and that the final evaluation will maximally reflect the research quality of the
publications.
JAMU was not evaluated in M2, due to the fact that publishing in journals with high impact factors is
not our main goal nor a relevant quality indicator in educational institutions of this type.
STATEMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY
Statement of the University to the evaluation by R&D&I Council
The University is to provide its statement to the evaluation in M1 and M2. The University may
provide additional information relevant to the evaluation. Alternatively, the University may explain
its objection to the evaluation by the R&D&I Council.

Basically, JAMU supports the origination and testing of new evaluation methods for research
organisations, which is to replace the hitherto mechanical counting of outputs, which distorted the
research environment in the Czech Republic for years. The effort to professionally evaluate selected
results and use an international evaluation panel to rank research organisations and their work,
environment and strategies is undoubtedly a big step forward and is a potent instrument to right
Czech research and encourage it to progress.
However, at the same time, the introduction of the new methodology raises concerns about
sufficient recognition of the specifics of arts universities, for which research is not the main creative
activity, being a complement to artistic activities. Although research is inseparably linked with
artistic creation, the new methodology entirely ignores this fact and gives us no space to describe
this synergy and have it subsequently evaluated. The whole methodology was prepared with main
respect to large research universities and it certainly may be beneficial for their further
development. The specifics of smaller, in particular arts educational institutions, are not taken into
account by the methodology, and therefore certain criteria against which we are evaluated are
irrelevant and sometimes contrary to our aims, possibilities and mission (e.g. commercialisation of
outputs, establishing spin-offs or large research infrastructures). Moreover, the administrative (and
financial) demands of self-evaluation is highly disproportionate to the scope of research work in the
context of our creative activities; it is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, idiomatically
speaking.
The number of outputs of our research work is so small that even a minor inaccuracy during the
evaluation of one result (subjective lower rating of a publication) may have a significant impact on
the evaluation and further existence of the institution. A potentially insignificant statistical error
detected in the case of a large research institution would mean a critical flaw in our case.
We fear that unless the evaluation methods diversify in next years in order to better reflect the
specifics of various higher educational institutions, in case the unified methodology continues to be
applied, the research at our university would be very adversely affected and will result in gradual
liquidation of our research activities. Such situation would mean a great loss and severe depletion of
our artistic work, educational activities as well as culture and society in general. (see also
