The aim of the proposed infrastructural project is to support development and consequent stabilization of quality infrastructure of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Kladno (FBMI). Aim of the quality improvement and increasing its capacity is to create conditions for improvement of education quality at this recently founded faculty with the connection to research, development and innovative activities. Biomedicine is a multidisciplinary study discipline demanding material, technical and apparatus equipment, and therefore it requires modern laboratory background for education of quality graduates in the scope able to absorb growing number of graduates.

Primary goal of the submitted project Infrastructure for biomedical engineering II (BIOKOS II) is to repair existing façade of the building KOKOS (town Kladno, Sítná square No. 3105), which will improve heating and technical qualities of the coat of the construction. All fillings will be exchanged and flat roofs will be covered with a heat insulation layer. This reconstruction will reduce the costs for energy consumption by the reduction of energy losses and hence also ecological efficiency of the building´s operation will be increased beside economic consequences. The building KOKOS is used by the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (FBMI) for educational purposes and related research.

The main aim of the project is to enlarge existing structure of technology transfer at the Czech Technical University by assigned part which will operate in frame of ECEEB and will enable stable and efficient support of researchers well as consistent development of innovation potential of newly built center within the Priority axis 2, Operational programme Research, Development and Innovations. Secondary goal is to verify settlement by 8 pilot project of commercialization of results of multidisciplinary research focused on development of new generation of intelligent buildings. The project will result in organic structure the support of commercialization at UCEEB with a loosely link to Inovacentrum of the Czech Technical University. The project will serve to the University center of energy efficient buildings of the Czech Technical University currently based in Kladno. It is tightly connected with four existing faculties of CTU (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering), but it is autonomous part of CTU, so that project management must be strongly organizationally divided from CTU parts in Prague.

Microbiological Center of the Research Institute of Brewing and Malting (RIBM) in Brno will be a specialized microbiological workplace of RIBM. The center will be placed in the premises of RIBM in Brno, owned by applying organization. Reconstruction necessary for project implementation and for realization of project research activities (reconstruction of existing buildings plus a newly built part). The project implementation will have a positive environmental impacts, especially in its operational stage. Reconstructed and enlarged capacity will be low energy, with the use of heat pump. Two independent water circuits will be installed in the building so that drinking and service water is separated. These circuits will be connected to a parallel sewerage system which will enable to drain effluent to a public sewerage system while a plain waste water from laboratories will be re-used after cleaning process as a service water (e.g. for refrigerating, or for WC). There will be a well placed on the plot of land of the applicant, it will serve as supplementary source of the service water. Beside a usual waste system, the laboratories will have also biological waste system with a sump. The project implementation will not lead to occupation of so far non-built-up area.

The main aim of the submitted investment project will be revitalization and increase of quality of infrastructural background for educational and research at the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University. This aim has 3 main components: (i) strengthening background for multimedia education, (ii) enhancing accessibility for disabled people, (iii) increasing the quality of internal environment in general. This will be achieved by a series of carefully and gradually made investment steps, coordinated in the way that there will be timely project implementation which would at the same time did not disturb faculty´s running. The submitted project consists of eight logically interconnected investment steps, their implementation will strengthen infrastructural base of the Philosophical Faculty.

The purpose of the project is to support innovations leading to economic utilization of energies and materials in the building by means of multidisciplinary research University center for energy efficient buildings (UCEEB), which represents modern center focused on introduction of innovations in the construction, reconstruction and energy efficiency of buildings. Center´s main goal is producing knowledge about energy efficiency and their transfer to practice by a close cooperation with industry and public administration. The proposed center offers complex research and educational programmes which enable preparing quality human resources for the practice and subsequently to support competitiveness of small and mid-sized regional enterprises by acquired knowledge. UCEEB is divided into 6 research programmes – reduction of energy efficiency of buildings, efficient use of renewable energy, systems of intelligent management, quality of internal environment, and environmental context.

The project focuses on enlargement, integration and systematization of fundamental research in the field of functional analyses of serious diseases on molecular-biological level. It creates a new infrastructure for experiments and strengthens instrumental background of expert teams of the faculty. It enables closer cooperation of top research groups of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine and concentration of instrumental equipment with large analytical capacity to its efficient use. Its goal is to fully activate inner synergies of these groups for the solution of complex research problems of the most serious diseases with the focus on oncological diseases and rare, life endangering diseases.
