Projects being solved by CSO
Beneficial and succesful activities of Czech Space Office could not be done without financial support from state funds, namely budgets of Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and Ministry of Transport. Nevertheless, dynamic growth of activities performed by CSO forced the board to search for another sources of funding. It is the consulting activities and involvement in suitable projects (EU projects and funds - Social funds or Framework programmes) which became inexpendable sources of funding, too. These projects represent not only the integration of czech scientific community into international cooperation networks but also an information tool, which inform "The rest of Europe" about capabilities and products of czech academic institutions and industry enterprises.
Czech Space office is involved in the following three projects in 2007. These projects are fully or partly funded by the European Union.
