European and national support programs give the opportunity to foster the development for all companies and individuals who participate in these programs. Our company participated in both national and European support programs in order to increase competitiveness, energy efficiency, education and research.
The benefit of these activities is to acquire new skills, contacts, as well as the implementation of new ideas, which can result in a variety of ways to improve the construction industry.

Project description
International project People-Centred Development Approaches in Practical and Learning Environments (PEOPLE) focuses on the mismatch between qualifications gained by humanities and social science students (in particular anthropology, psychology, and sociology) and skills expected from graduates by employers in industry.
In each of the four countries participating in this three-year project (Slovenia, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Czech Republic), an alliance was formed between a higher education or research institution and an industry partner from the energy efficiency and sustainable energy sectors.
The main goal of the project is the development, implementation, and evaluation of a new model of knowledge transfer between higher education and industry. Interdisciplinary teams of students formed in the PEOPLE project will use different people-centred development approaches to test and improve existing products or services and to seek new development solutions for the industry.

An integral part of research and development in our company is providing testing services for manufacturers, importers and distributors who have their basic research carried out by outsourcing the testing in our accredited testing laboratory.
Project participation on your part may be also realized in the form of providing certification methodologies. In the future we are preparing new ideas and new projects, as well as we are looking for new partners from Czech Republic and abroad who would be interested to taking part in European and national projects. We would appreciate your interest and would be happy to discuss further anytime.
