Václav Hampl (born 1 July 1962) is a Czech physiologist and a former politician who was a Senator from Prague 1 from 2014 until 2020. From 2006 to 2014, Hampl served as Rector of the Charles University.
Research
[edit]Hampl was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1962. He received his PhD from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1990.[1] He did postgraduate work at the University of Minnesota Medical School and, since 2002, has been a professor of physiology at Charles University in Prague.[1] His research has focused on the pulmonary circulation and its use of nitric oxide as a signaling agent.[1] His research publications have been cited more than 3,750 times, his H-index is 28.[2]
In February 2006, Hampl became the 507th rector of Charles University. After serving the two four-years terms stipulated by law, he stepped down on 31 January 2014,[1] and was succeeded by Tomáš Zima.
Professional Membership
[edit]In 2006–2011 Hampl served in the association of rectors of public, state and private higher education institutions in the Czech Republic, the Czech Rectors Conference, as its Vice-President for public relations and foreign affairs, and Vice-President for creative activities, respectively; in 2011–2014 he served as its President.[1][3]
In 2009 he was a member of the board of trustees of the Europaeum.[4]
In 2010–2011 he served as the chair of the Bioethical Committee of the Czech Republic.[5]
In 2011–2015 he was a board member of the European University Association,[6] where he also serves in the Research policy working group (since 2009) and the steering committee of Council for Doctoral Education (since 2013).[1]
During his rectorship three large infrastructure projects were prepared and mostly completed using European structural funds: the biomedical centers in Plzeň [7] and Hradec Králové,[8] and BIOCEV, a biotechnology center in Vestec near Prague shared with six institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Charles University also acquired a large building complex, "Crystal",[9] near the location of Faculty of sports, as well as a double property on Opletalova street in the centre of Prague.
Politics
[edit]In September 2014 Hampl was elected Senator in the district of central Prague (the Senate district Prague 1 also includes the whole of Prague 7 and parts of Prague 6, 5 and 2), running as an independent with support from the Christian and Democratic Union – Czechoslovak People's Party (KDU-ČSL) and the Green Party.[10] He served as the chair of the Senate's Committee on European Union Affairs.[10]
In 2018, KDU-ČSL nominated him to become President of the Senate.[11] The election was held on 14 November 2018. Hampl advanced to the second round but was defeated by Jaroslav Kubera.
Hampl decided to seek re-election for his Senate seat in the 2020 Senate election. He was once again nominated by KDU-ČSL and received support from the Green Party.[12] In the second round of the elections on October 10, Hampl was defeated by Miroslava Němcová.[13]
