Other projects and foundations
University of Defence was involved in 32 defence research projects getting funding support from the Czech Ministry of Defence and in 37 projects from other than defence research support agencies (15 projects by Czech Grant Agency, 1 project by the Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences of the CR, 4 projects by the Internal Agency of the Czech Ministry of Health, 3 projects by the Czech Ministry of Transport, 2 projects by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 1 project by the Ministry of the Interior and 8 projects by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports including 4 projects by international research and development programmes under EU guaranteed by the ministry) in 2010.
University of Defence won 22,059 points in that period counted according to the procedure by the Research and Development Government Council.
University of Defence plans to increase the share of purpose-oriented resources in funding its own research and development projects. Its objective is to turn research and development effort toward fighting terrorism support, development of processes and technologies supporting Czech national security system, extended cooperation with industrial companies to establish UD expert facilities. For that it follows related regulations such as Defence Applied Research and Development by 2015 Concept, forms interdepartmental task teams for defence research projects, seeks guarantee of accomplishing goals as decided upon by the National Security Council in crisis management education and security science, and intensifies its international cooperation particularly oriented towards Visegrad Four countries.
The main research projects are listed in the table.
