The Centre places a high priority on engaging in scientific projects and grants focused on research and development in optical systems, advanced measurement techniques, and specialized materials for optical applications.
We continually set innovation goals and seek research institutions and industrial partners who can offer expertise or infrastructure. With strong experience in successfully applying for national and international consortia (such as TA CR and ESA), we provide full support throughout both project planning and implementation.
