The aim of the sub-projects is to verify the results of applied research (it does not have to be a result obtained in the TA ČR project, but it must have application potential) from the point of view of their practical application and preparation of their subsequent commercial use or use for the needs of society.
The call is not thematically limited, it is open until 9 October 2026.
REGISTRATION for the internal CTT seminar for this call will take place online on 8 September, from 2:00 p.m.
