New Materials and Technologies

The New Materials and Technologies domain aims to use the capacity of the research centres of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, as well as other research organizations in the region, such as COMTES FHT a.s. and the Research and Testing Institute Pilsen. An important aspect is their co-operation with the application sphere, especially with manufacturing companies, as well as multidisciplinary collaboration, e.g. for applications in healthcare.

The implementation of the results of R&D is particularly important in the manufacturing industry, which is of key importance for the region’s economy. R&D brings improved materials and technologies that offer advantages over traditional ones. This allows, among other things, more cost-effective solutions in production, in products, reducing the energy and material intensity of production, recycling, and reducing the carbon footprint.
