Contractual research – collaboration with
industrial partners
 Systematic collaboration with industrial partners, both via externally
financed research projects, contractual research paid by the industry
itself and commercialization/licensing of inventions of CEITEC PI’s
 International and domestic industrial partners, many of them represent
strategic R&D relationships
 Since 2011 CEITEC BUT has shown a significant increase in the
volume of contractual research and development, in fact now we see
2.5 times growth per annum in average.
