Daniel Novotný became a member of NCOR and CPEMPH

Daniel Novotný, Ph.D (Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies FTH USB, Center for Applied Philosophy), was appointed a member of two prestigious professional organisations – National Center for Ontological Research (NCOR, Universita Buffalo) and Center for Philosophy of Epidemiology, Medicine, and Public Health (CPEMPH, Univerzita Johannesburg/Durham University).

NCOR, founded in 2005, focuses on collaborative research and development of ontologies in areas such as biomedicine, healthcare, defense, and information technology. The main goal of NCOR is to improve the quality of ontology research and to develop tools for ontology evaluation and quality assurance. The organisation is a catalyst for collaboration between philosophers, scientists, and practitioners from different industries.

The CPEMPH, established informally in recent years, with a planned official launch in 2025, is an international centre for the philosophy of epidemiology, medicine and public health. It focuses on interdisciplinary research and promoting dialogue between philosophy and the biomedical sciences. The organisation brings together experts to generate deeper insights into ethical and conceptual aspects of public health and health systems.

Daniel Novotný's membership in these organisations is evidence of his contribution to the field of applied philosophy. Novotný plans to collaborate on projects that will improve data integration, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the development of innovative and ethical solutions to current global challenges.
