As of 30 April 2018, the applied research and experimental development programme “TRIO” has a new wording approved by the government of the Czech Republic. It is a programme focused on supporting activities in the area of applied research and experimental development in order to increase the use of results of this area.
The individual projects use and support further development of the potential in the following key technologies:
- Photonics;
- Micro- and nanoelectronics;
- Nanotechnology;
- Industrial biotechnology;
- Advanced materials; and
- Advanced production technologies.
The main changes in the wording of the programme include an extension of the duration of the programme by one year, i.e. until 2022 (inclusive), and an increased budget has been approved that brings the opportunity to announce a fourth public competition. Its announcement is planned for September 2018 with the anticipated competition period in September/October 2018. The basic conditions of the programme remain unchanged.
