Food Research Institute Prague, RADIOVa 7, PRAHA 10 

Research Institute of Food Industry was founded in 1958 by an act of the then existing Ministry of Food Industry and Purchase. Since then it has played an important role in the scientific and technological research in this country and abroad. It has become an institution dealing with fundamental and applied research, with developments in food chemistry, biochemistry and engineering.

The Institute functioned as a budgetary organization since its establishment till the year 1991. In 1992 the Institute was transformed into a contributory organization, a part of its budget has been refunded by the Ministry of Agricultural of the Czech Republic, the rest has had to be obtained by activities bringing in the necessary funds. The Institute has changed its name. Now it is called the Food Research Institute Prague.

The transformation of the Institute into a contributory institution necessitated further changes in the field of activities. A certain amount of works bringing in revenues had to be supported because they secured the funds needed for the operation of the Institute to the full extent.
