Science and Research
Grants and projects

The Faculty of Agriculture and Technology, University of South Bohemia, is involved in a number of projects of varied nature. These projects range from scientific projects rooted in the application sphere or the area of basic research, to projects supporting the international or institutional cooperation but also the mobility of students and academic staff. Our staff is successful in obtaining projects primarily from national providers, but in many cases, we have obtained international projects.

At the Faculty of Agriculture and Technology, we put an emphasis not only on the development of cooperation with other research organizations, but we also endeavour to cooperate with companies interested in the development of their operations and in application of new findings. For this reason, the Faculty of Agriculture and Technology offers expert advice in many fields.
