History

The original institute that has later turned into IOCB was established at the end of the Second World War before the establishment of CAS. The original institute was established under the Faculty of Chemistry of Czech Technical University in Prague and has been renamed multiple times.[2][3] The official date that is considered as the establishment of IOCB is the year 1953, when the institute was renamed Institue of Organic Chemistry and incorporated into newly established Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. In 1955, the institute was renamed to Chemical Institute of CAS. The institute was finally renamed to IOCB in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and establishment of the Czech Republic. In 2007, the institute was transformed into a public research institute.
