rámcích

Rámcích is the locative plural form of the Czech noun rámec, which denotes a frame, border, or a broader framework. In everyday use, rámec can refer to a physical border around an object as well as to an abstract structure that defines limits, context, or procedures. The form rámcích appears in phrases that describe being “within the frameworks” or within several contexts, such as v rámcích mezinárodních dohod or v rámcích různých programů.

Meanings and uses

- Physical frame: the surrounding border of a picture, window, or other object. This sense is common in design, art, and construction contexts.

- Conceptual framework: a structured set of principles, rules, or assumptions that organize a field of study, a project, or a policy area. In research and academia, the term rámec is often used in the same way as “framework.”

- Regulatory or organizational frame: the overall context of laws, guidelines, or institutional arrangements that constrain or enable actions. Phrases such as právní rámec or financování rámců reflect this sense.
