Starting in January 2026, he will be hosted at CEFRES, in collaboration with Slovak Africanist and historian Silvestr Trnovec, to develop a new project entitled “Sans colonies, mais toujours colonialiste ? Histoire (tchéco)slovaque et empire colonial français en Afrique, XVIIIe siècle–début du XXe siècle”. This project is being implemented as part of the TANDEM SAV–CNRS 2026-2027 program and explores the historical links between the Czechoslovak space and the French colonial empire in Africa.
