For Palacký University, projects and grants are not only a motor for academic research, but also an important component of its financing. Palacký University received 290,569,000 CZK (nearly 11 million EUR) in 2014 from 224 projects, about 2 million EUR more than in the year previous. The largest number of grants come from the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, and there are also significant numbers of projects emanating from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health. All the faculties of Palacký University, except for the Faculty of Health Sciences, have projects with special purpose support.
The main goal of the project, the biggest project at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, is to support and further expand the existing infrastructure of the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine and integrate its research workers into international research platforms. We would like to improve the cooperation between the private and public sectors in research and further improve the position of the institute as a top educational centre.
