Research and Work-Based Trainings of Czech Engineers in the USA supported by the Masaryk Academy of Labour at the Time of the First Republic

Original language description

The Masaryk Academy of Labour was constituted under an act of law from 1920. It was the first academic scientific institution uniting technicians and engineers in the Czech lands and the centre of technical labour in the Czechoslovak Republic. The academy was mainly focused on practical and theoretical activities in the area of natural sciences, agriculture, civil and mechanical engineering, chemical technology and public technical administration. The main difference between the academy and other academic institutions in the Czechoslovak Republic was the accent on applied research. This academic scientific institution existed in Czechoslovakia until 1952, when it was incorporated in the newly founded Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. The most important international relations which the Masaryk Academy of Labour maintained were with Yugoslavia (the Masaryk Academy of Labour helped to create a similar local academy of engineering in Yugoslavia) and the United States of America. The archive fund of the Presidium of this technical academy, which is deposited in the archive of the Czech Academy of Sciences, provides the records of sending the Czechoslovakian engineers of the First Republic to a work-based and research trainings to great industrial plants, e.g. Ford’s factories in Detroit, etc. This fund also contains the reports of the young engineers about their industrial practice abroad. This article will present the details about these trainee programs.
