Thematic scope of the project:

Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

There is need for transnational cooperation because there is a low level of awareness about possibilities of implementation of innovative solutions (including ‘green technology’) as business, commercial and industrial appliances. Polish students and academic workers remain very hermetic in the field of reveling their research work and achievements. This leads to a situation in which the research and development sector is underfunded and innovation is rarely used to increase the competitiveness of polish private and education sector. Therefor the amount of polish innovative enterprises though rising is still very low.

Objectives to be achieved: The objective would be to introduce and exchange solutions used in Science and Progress Project (Partnerski Związek Nauki i Postępu – Polish translation of the projects name) with solutions from partner countries that are interested in promotion of innovation, science, research, ‘green technology’, technology as overall, among students, R&D workers, education and private sector. The objective also includes promotion of equal access to knowledge, science and education with remembering about the gender equality rules.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): a.    analysis of Polish and European activities leading to promotion of science and innovationb.    exchange of experience and knowledge acquired so farc.    study visitsd.    planning promotion activities based on the exchanged know-howe.    conducting promotion activities based on the exchanged know-howf.    planning simultaneous promotion activitiesg.    conducting simultaneous promotion activitiesh.    introduction of changes and proposals in the field of efficient promotion of science
Planned deliverables & outcomes of TNC: The transnational cooperation should produce general guidelines that could be used by Polish and European private and education sector to increase the awareness about science and its practical implementation that could lead to increased funding and applying of innovative solutions.
