Operational Programme Research and Development
for Innovation

• The global objective of the OP RDI is to
  strengthen the research, development
  and innovation potential of the Czech Republic
  that shall contribute to its economic growth,
  competitiveness and to the creation of highly
  qualified workplaces so that the Czech regions
  can become important locations for the
  concentration of these activities within Europe.
• Managing Authority Ministry of Education, Youth
  and Sports
• Total financial allocation 2,436 billion EUR
• Beneficiaries research organisations (definition
  of the Community Framework for State Aid for
  Research Development and Innovation (2006/C

Priority Axis 1 European Centers of Excellence

• Centre of Excellence
• a research centre equipped with modern, often
  unique infrastructure producing, on international
  scale, outstanding research results, including
  results that can be applied in practice. These
  centres create strong strategic partnerships with
  prestigious research laboratories (both private
  and public) in the Czech Republic and abroad.
  Partnerships help to enhance the integration of
  Czech RD teams with leading international
  research organizations and European research
  infrastructures.
