Research Institutions

  • State research and development sector

     

    The state R&D sector consists of higher education institutions,  research institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) and state sector R&D organisations established by central state administration bodies. The SAS is a self‑governing scientific organisation of the Slovak Republic established by special Act, the activity of which is aimed at the development of science, education, culture and economy. The SAS conducts its research activity by means of research institutes established on the basis of either full or partial public funding. State sector R&D organisations funded in full or in part by the state are established by the appropriate central administrative bodies. More details you can find on the websites of the respective SAS research institutes and state sector research organisations.
