SUMMARY
20. 20
SERVICE FEES – OPERATING COSTS
q Sharing the operating costs of laboratories and instruments decreases the
economic burden of research groups
q Purchasing capital-intensive and costly high-tech instruments
q Creating reserves for re-investment
q Increasing the effectivity of lab-time use
Current situation for 2015
q Bursar’s directive, Secretary’s directive, bylaw of payments
q Informative invoices to each user since April 2015, the cost of lab time will be
calculated quarterly
q Invoices in 2015 are of informative character, the costs are covered from public
sources of STI BUT
q Starting 2016, a discussion about covering the operating costs also partly by users
q Commercial cooperation – via HS

Mapping user activities
q Overall utilised capacity
q Overall number of users
q User mapping (CEITEC, academic, commercial)
q Science mapping (what you do, things for which we can look for grants, collaborations
we can establish – with other universities, foreign institutions)
q Utilised capacity of the devices
How it helps
q Increase in user comfort
q CEITEC’s international reputation, participation in national and international projects
q Proving to the Ministry of Education (CZR) and EU, that we are active and use the devices
q We increase our attractiveness for potential research partners
q We increase the shared know-how
q Support for purchasing new devices (also the same ones)
q Strategy for the future development of laboratories
q Finding monetary sources for laboratory operation
WHY DO WE DO THIS?
