Foundation "Talent of Josef, Marie and Zdenka Hlávkových"

The oldest Czech Foundation was founded by Dr. Josef Hlavka on 25. of January  1904. Foundation activity is closely linked with the fate of Czech society.  Conception of Talent acitivities was deeply affected by social changes, especially after years 1939 and 1948. Talent was the sole heir of all the assets of Josef Hlavka, which serves to the education of the Czech nation. Talent encouraged "the Czech Academy of Emperor Franz Josef for Science, Literature and Arts", "College Student of Prague Czech universities" and the Economics Institute. In 1953, the decision of the government was all Czech foundations canceled except Talent J., M., and Z.
