Projects funded by providers such as the Czech Science Foundation (GACR), Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TACR) or the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MSMT) that have their own budget section in the state budget. Other providers include, for example, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Culture, or regional authorities. These are projects where the proposer (typically the Czech Science Foundation) sets the objective and methods, or more frequently, projects where the provider defines the objectives

   

VRTOUCH | Modular drilling rig for space-constrained applications with environmentally friendly drive

Consortium:
JaNo, s.r.o., TERAMED, s.r.o., ŠAVŠ

Main ŠAU Investigator:
prof. Ing. Vojtěch Dynybyl,  Ph. D.

Project Duration:
2023–2025

Project budget:
CZK 2 959 thousands

Project description:
The main objective of the project is to develop and construct a working sample of a drilling rig for drilling core exploration wells in confined and inaccessible areas. The rig will be powered by an environmentally friendly drive and will be used to drill boreholes primarily for geotechnical exploration using core drilling technology. The second objective is to equip the rig with mechatronic elements and digital technologies in line with the needs of the Industry 4.0 and Construction 4.0 initiatives respectively. The purpose of the project is to launch a new product with high added value that will be included in JaNo's production portfolio.

This project is financed from the state budget by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Industry and Trade within the TREND Programme.

Main ŠAVŠ Investigator:
prof. Ing. Radim Lenort, Ph.D.

Project Duration:
2023–2028

Project budget:
CZK 10.502 thousands

Project description:
The main objective of the project is to increase the potential of additive technologies through the efficient and environmentally friendly use of raw materials or energy, the development of materials with specific properties and creation of new products, the design of appropriate technologies, and the use of digitalisation enabling a high degree of optimisation. It will be achieved through sub-projects involving at least 26 partners and resulting in at least 80 applied research results with high implementation potential. Another objective is to create a platform using the multiplier effect of interdisciplinary networking of R&D organisations and industrial leaders, which will help the long-term and sustainable development of additive technologies in the Czech Republic, and increase its competitiveness.

This project is co-financed from the state budget by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic within the National Centres of Competence Programme.

    

Proposal for a Strategic Framework for Higher Education for the Automotive Sector

Main ŠAVŠ Investigator:
doc. Ing. Pavel Štrach, Ph.D. et Ph.D.

Project Duration:
2022–2024

Number of Investigators (ŠAVŠ; external): 
10;  5

Project budget (2022 - 2024):
CZK 2.765 thousands

Project description:
The project "Proposal for a strategic framework of higher education for the automotive sector" will be solved by a multidisciplinary team of experts from both universities. The solution will also include an analysis of the offer of higher education in the field of automotive in the Czech Republic. An important objective of the research will be the design of innovations of existing study programmes of technical faculties of universities in order to ensure the consistency of the needs of the automotive sector with government strategies for industry and trade and for the field of tertiary education. 

This project is financed from the state budget by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic within the BETA2 Programme.
