The Academy of Sciences of the Czech rebublic - ASCR


We cooperate with numerous academic and industrial partners on R&D projects addressing complex materials challenges. Our department combines deep expertise in advanced materials and modern technologies with a broad range of analytical methods and state-of-the-art equipment. We are a passionate team of experts ready to push the boundaries of innovation together with you.

 
Academic Collaboration
Academic research and development at our department is conducted through extensive national and international partnerships. In the Czech Republic, we collaborate with various institutes across the Czech Academy of Sciences as well as major universities and research institutes. We maintain long-term active partnerships with a number of internationally renowned research institutions.
 
Industrial Collaboration
Experimental development is carried out in collaboration with a wide range of domestic and international companies. We are a trusted partner for both small-scale projects and large consortium-based initiatives. Our industrial research is commonly protected by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). In addition, we offer contract-based material analyses and consulting services for solving material-related challenges, troubleshooting, and implementing innovations.
