THE LAW
Slovak National Council
of 23 September 1963
on the Slovak Academy of Sciences
Socialist science is becoming an increasingly important factor in the further development of our society led by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. This process accounts for a significant proportion of science in Slovakia. Its role is to participate creatively in the development of the entire Czechoslovak theoretical research and scientific creation, as well as to develop this research and creation with a view to the specific needs of the economic and cultural development of Slovakia, including the upbringing of highly qualified scientific cadres.
The principle of the uniformity of Czechoslovak science, which is based on the enhanced cooperation of all scientific institutes of basic research in the territory of our state, allows for the further development of Czechoslovak science, closely linked to the needs of the development of society. These requirements need to be adapted in accordance with the legislation of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, such as the Supreme Scientific Institution of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, to the work, organisational structure and methods of action of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, as the Supreme Scientific Institution of Slovakia, which builds on the progressive traditions of science in Slovakia (Mattice Slovak, Learned Society of Šafarikova, Slovak Academy of Sciences and other institutions) and forms an organic part of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.
The Slovak National Council therefore decided on the following Act:
