Programme Summary
Why is the programme needed? Investments in research and innovation are widely acknowledged as being a crucial driver for economic growth, for job-creation and to secure social and economic welfare. Investments in research in the Czech Republic are still below the EU average. In 2010, public research investment spending was one of the lowest in the EU. The research programme places itself within overall strategies in Europe, like Europe 2020, the Flagship for Innovation and the coming research programme of the European Union, the Horizon 2020. The programme will increase high quality research cooperation across borders, and thus contribute to objectives of the European Research Area. What will the programme achieve? The overall objective of the Czech Research Fund is to enhance research-based knowledge development in the Czech Republic through enhanced research cooperation between the Czech Republic and Norway. The programme will fund collaborative research projects in the following areas;- Environment
- Health
- Social Science and the Humanities
