Energy-Efficient Technologies

Description of service

The EFP group is focused on production machines and processes. The focus is on three levels: research of physical principles of additive and subtractive production processes, tool path planning and movement control of production machines and process data collection and subsequent processing for improved production technology control. The group is also running the lower part of the Testbed for Industry 4.0, a part of CIIRC key research facility.

How to access our testing facilities

Industry Cooperation We offer companies straightforward access to the latest scientific expertise, professional consultations, and the sharing of specialized know-how. By collaborating with us, you gain access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and a wide range of opportunities for joint research, grant projects, or customized services — from project design to data analysis.

Support provided during the testing process

The research-in-residence program tries to get the academia and industry closer. Under this program we offer a creation of a shared lab. A dynamically created team of CIIRC faculties, students and the industry experts work together researching and solving partners problems . This program is also governed individually based on a contract. The IP rights may be exclusive or nonexclusive.

Consulting and expert guidance

The CIIRC Technology Transfer (TT) mission is sharing the research results with companies or general public in many different ways: through formal licensing of technology, contracted or sponsored research, consultancy, students projects (thesis), publications in journals, at conferences, books etc

Networking opportunities and collaboration platforms

We organize scientific and popular science events. In addition to conferences, lectures, and workshops, you can also visit e.g. open days aimed at the general public, those interested in electron microscopy, modern architecture or potential CEITEC PhD School students.

Additional resources for interested companies

"The sponsored research is typically more future looking and longer research project. The agreement usually defines only the area and direction of research. Our PhD. students and the research staff are frequently engaged in this type of projects. The funding is typically awarded by EU or governmental offices. These projects may be cofinanced from industry too. Exclusive research for an industrial partners is also an option."
