Výzkumný

Výzkumné is a Czech adjective meaning “related to research” or “research-based.” It is used to describe activities, institutions, or outputs connected with scientific investigation. The form is declined to match the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies; common uses include výzkumné středisko (research center), výzkumné projekty (research projects), and výzkumné práce (research tasks).

Etymology and related forms: výzkumné is derived from the noun výzkum (research) with the adjectival suffix -né, producing phrases that designate things pertaining to research. The same idea exists in Slovak, where the equivalent adjective is výskumné (spelled with different orthography). In both languages, the term functions as a modifier for nouns denoting institutions, programs, projects, or outputs.

Usage and contexts: výzkumné appears mainly in formal, academic, governmental, and corporate contexts. It is common in names of institutions such as research centers (výzkumné centrum), departments (výzkumné oddělení), and in descriptions of projects or programs (výzkumné projekty, výzkumné programy). It is frequently found in official documents, grant proposals, university catalogs, and press releases to indicate the research-oriented nature of a subject.

Notes: while výzkumné itself is an adjective, the noun výzkum is often used independently to refer broadly to the act of investigating. The term helps distinguish general research activity from other kinds of work, signaling a focus on systematic inquiry, experimentation, and the generation of new knowledge.
