An integral part of the research will address socio-economic and geographical aspects of the implementation of achievements and innovations in the context of sustainable transition. The project also involves the Moravian-Silesian Innovation Centre Ostrava a.s. (MSIC) as an organisation providing coordination of the development of a dynamic innovation ecosystem in MSK and the implementation of RIS3 MSK.
INOVO!!! – Innovative technologies for a cleaner Ostrava region!!!
Principal Investigator
CEET, VŠB-TUO
Place of realization
Ostrava, Moravskoslezský kraj
Key partners
Importance for the region
The aim of the INOVO!!! project is to establish and deepen long-term cooperation, which will focus on the two-way transfer of information, knowledge and know-how in the framework of joint research of VŠB-TUO and OU with the application sphere in the field of current environmental topics.
The joint research will be carried out in 2 research projects (RI) focused on (i) technologies for reducing air pollution by solid and gaseous substances (dust particles, heavy metals, volatile organic substances, carbon dioxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides) generated inenergy and other industrial processes, and (ii) technologies for the treatment and purification of wastewater generated in the energy sector, including the reduction of newly identified pollutants (microplastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances, etc.) in the aquatic environment.
The research topics were initiated by the industrial partners involved in the project, DEKONTA a.s., Nano4people, s.r.o., BENEKOVterm, s.r.o., Veolia Energie ČR, a.s., RANIDO, s.r.o. and RPG Recycling, s.r.o.
