The Real Plan - Central European Institute of

Technology … CEITEC initiated in early 2005

Institutional background and umbrella for large infrastructure for basic and applied research in Science & TechnologyFocused on Life Sciences + Advanced Materials with direct links to Medicinal R&DIndicative budget around 400 million EuroRight in the centre of

Central Europe

The Reality – University Campus Brno (2005 – )

Associated to Life Science Campus of the Masaryk UniversityCampus worth about 200 mil Euro, built in 2002-2008 (about 70.000 m2) More than 1000 PhD students in Life Science Includes Incubator for Biomedical Technologies

ILBIT

Integrated Labs for Biomedical Technologies

About 15.000 m2 of high-tech area in full operation

The Campus in 2007

Grand opening of 12 new buildings on September 17, 2007The rest follows quickly (?)

Further Plans:The Structure of CEITEC

Main layers of infrastructureChain of many collaborating labsStrong links to the mother institutionsSophisticated blend of services and research Direct link to ICRC, common partners

ICT Data Mining

Imaging

Further common infrastructure

CEITEC

Core Labs

The Further Plans: Eliminated Risks

Lack of supercritical mass within individual institutions.Fragmented infrastructure for large Science & Technology projects and lack of professional management.Unfortunate split between Engineering (Brno University of Technology) and Medicine, Science, and Arts (Masaryk University).Split between the tertiary education and research in Adacemy of Sciences in general.Limited experience and tradition in IPR protection and technology transfer.
