Description

The initiative was focused on deepening the cooperation of two universities in the field of water treatment technologies and management, exchanging knowledge and establishing a long-term partnership. The main aim was to prepare a joint research project proposal for the open call KAPPA of the CZ-RESEARCH programme. The activities included video meetings and a 4-day study visit of the Czech team in Norway.

The joint project will lead to improving and deepening collaboration between both partners in research actions. It is expected that the initiatives will bring new experience and knowledge in

Summary of the results

The main activity of the initiative was a working visit where BUT (Brno University of Technology) members visited NIVA (Norwegian Institute for Water Research) partner for a day. During the day, several joint meetings were held on issues related to the project theme (antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, possibilities for future cooperation), preparation of a project proposal for the Kappa challenge and a tour through the research institute. The proposal was subsequently mutually prepared and successfully submitted within the Call. It passed the formal check of the call (but was not implemented in the end).
