The research work is focused on creating qualified information sources for decision-makers which enable them to make informed decisions in shaping national research and innovation policies, setting up and updating long-term research programmes financed from public funds, defining national research priorities and creating conditions for effective exploitation of research results supported from public funds. Attention will also be paid to developing methodology for foresight studies related to research, technology development and innovation.

FramingNano (Governance in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) is an FP7 project established with the objective of defining a governance framework, together with a constructive and practicable regulatory proposals, aimed at supporting  responsible development of nanoscience and nanotechnology through the process of an open and international multi-stakeholder dialogue amongst the scientific, industrial, non-governmental and broader public communities.

FP7 project EUROSIS aims to enhance the network of National Contact Points (NCPs) in the FP7 priority “Science in Society” and to create from this network an efficient instrument of the realization of the FP7 objectives. The project organizes workshops, thematic meetings and trainings. The project should also contribute to the confectioning of the unique European partner search tool.

The aim of the project is to support small and medium enterprises and academic institutions in the 7. FP with a view to strengthen the transeuropean cooperation in research and development (RTD). Small and medium enterprises and researchers will be by various forms supported for preparing the common innovative projects aimed at biomedical research in the 7. FP. The main activities of the project will be partnering, creating of syndicates and facilitation of identification of suitable partners with necessary experiences and know-how with the special intent on new member states and associated candidate states.

The aim of the SEREN project (phase 1) is to link the different NCPs of the Security research programme, to initiate coordination in the network, to improve the quality of the network and, as a matter of fact, the ability of its members to deliver a high level of services to the community. 

“Healthy and Safe Food for the Future – A Technology Foresight Project in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia”

The ultimate goal of the project is to assist the total food chain in Central and Eastern European countries to reach higher quality and safety standards in food industry. The goal will be reached by two objectives of the project which are as follows:
a) To promote a new decision-making culture among managers and policy-makers in order to put quality and safety issues into the centre of the total food chain management.
b) To identify future key technologies and new business models to promote the quality and safety requirements in food production, by establishing a Food Quality and Safety Platform in CEE countries.

The aim of the project is to increase the participation of the partners from INCO countries in the Framework programme projects specifically in the area of food and agriculture research and biotechnologies. This should be done through creation of new relationships with national contact points in INCO countries and through training activities intent on INCO countries.

CeTT is a complex project co-financed by European Social Fund and the state budget of the Czech Republic. The aim of the project is to support R&D results realization and to implement new technologies substantial for economic development and competitiveness of CR. Significant activity of the project is also to create an educational system for managerial staff of companies, students, post-graduate students and young scientists in the field of R&D results transition to industry, IPR and innovative entrepreneurship.

The CIRC project is focused on transnational technology transfer and international cooperation in the field of applied RTD. CIRC is a member of a European network of 70 regional cooperating IRCs (Innovation Relay Centres) which cover 250 organizations in 31 countries. The mission of the IRC network is to boost industrial and technology innovation in Europe through specialized services. These services are targeted especially at technology-oriented SMEs. However, they are available also for large companies, research institutes and universities. More information at http://irc.cordis.lu

The overall objective of the project is to provide recommendations on the developments that would be desirable in agricultural and food research in Europe. Technology Centre AS CR is a project partner.
