Through its institutes, the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) offers industrial partners the opportunity to engage in research collaboration across a wide range of scientific fields. Collaboration may take place primarily in the form of contract research or joint research, with SAS institutes providing access to specialized scientific expertise, modern laboratory equipment, and experienced research teams. All research collaboration is tailored to the specific needs and objectives of the partner organization, resulting in solutions with strong application potential.
Contact the SAS Technology Transfer Office (TTO SAS) when you need to determine how the SAS can support you in addressing research and development challenges within your business.
The SAS Technology Transfer Office (TTO SAS):
- will identify the team of experts within SAS organizations who can assist in solving your challenge,
- will verify the capacities and availability of the expert team,
- will facilitate collaboration between you and the relevant SAS organization,
- will prepare cooperation agreements if needed, or manage the review and signing process for agreements you provide,
- will remain available, as necessary, to address any questions that may arise over the course of the research collaboration.
Below is an overview of the scientific fields in which the Slovak Academy of Sciences can offer its expertise as part of long-term research collaboration:
Testing micronutrients and natural antioxidants in animal feed PV-19-007
Research on the effects of microelements, plant extracts and antioxidants on animal metabolism and health, aimed at improving production quality and stress resilience. Collaboration may include trace-element analysis, biochemical assays and recommendations for optimal dosing in commercial feed formulations.
Thermal management in nanomembranes PV-09-003
Development of methods for transferring thin semiconductor layers to high-thermal-conductivity substrates to enhance device efficiency and reliability. Cooperation can focus on process optimization, thermal property measurements and design of solutions for industrial use.
Thin-film nanostructured materials PV-09-008
Development of thin-film nanostructures with tailored properties for use in sensors, supercapacitors and electronic devices. Collaboration may include design, deposition and testing of materials for specialized applications.
Topological semimetals PV-09-010
Research and development of thin-film topological semimetals with optimized growth, optical and transport properties. Collaboration may include design of new structures, characterization and testing for applications in electronics and sensing.
Vector-borne infections, vector competence of blood-sucking ectoparasites
Study of vector capacity and competence of blood-sucking ectoparasites to transmit parasites and microorganisms with zoonotic potential. Collaboration can include development of diagnostic, monitoring and control strategies, experimental infections, molecular analyses, and development of predictive models for disease risk under different climatic scenarios.
