Projects and grants
Every year, researchers carry out dozens of grant projects supported from Czech as well as foreign grant resources. Financial contributions from grants represent a significant source of income for CRH.
Operation Program Research, Development, and Education
Plants as a tool for sustainable global development
CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_019/0000827
Grant recipient: UP Olomouc
Investigator: Prof. RNDr. Ivo Frébort, CSc., Ph. D.
Duration: March 2018 - October 2022
The aim of the project is to support research in the field of Biotechnology, acquisition of new instruments, recruiting scientific reinforcements, and cooperation with scientific workplaces abroad. The goal of researchers is to gain knowledge and develop techniques that enable breeding of economically important crops with higher yields and greater resilience to adverse climatic conditions, especially drought.
Development of pre-applied research in nanotechnogy and biotechnology
CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/17_048/0007323
Grant recipient: UP Olomouc
Investigator: Mgr. Lucie Plíhalová, Ph. D.
Duration: July 2018 - December 2022
The aim of the project is to strengthen pre-application research of new nano- and biotechnologies to be used in agriculture, food industry, environmental protection and medicine, and prepare them for technology transfer. The project will create a bridge between the excellent research of CRH and RCPTM and the possible transfer of technology.
