Slovakia


The Slovakian Government has recently revamped its policies in Science and Technology with the inception of new the act for the Slovak Academy of Sciences.  The new policy is focused towards improving the quality of products which are already marketed by Slovakian companies and to create new companies which will develop novel products with a global focus.  A new industrial policy is also underway with the same idea in mind.

A new Scientific and Technological Information Centre which will help Slovakian companies and other research organisations to establish cooperative opportunities with international research groups and to do foresight studies in emerging technologies is underway.  Nanotechnology is slowly establishing itself in Slovakia with the presence of companies such as the RT Group, Ltd., which is a developing company working on carbon nanotubes and carbon nanocrystals.  The Slovak Academy of Sciences has created a new Network of Excellence called NanoSmart which is multidisciplinary in nature and comprises more than 60 researchers from different departments and organisations looking at areas such as ceramic nanocomposites, metallic materials, semiconductors and superconductivity.
