            ******************************************************************************************


            The Sigma-DC1 programme, run by the Czech Technology Agency, focuses on supporting the com
            system and promoting the use and evaluation of R&D results for societal needs that have be
            developed in research organisations and have high potential for application in new or impr

            services.

            This programme builds on the GAMA and GAMA 2 programmes, through which Charles University 

            supported a total of 47 projects.


            The university strives to support high-quality projects that produce results suitable for 
            commercial use or to meet the needs of society.


            CPPT is responsible for the overall coordination and administration of the project.

            Funding for individual projects is awarded by the Rector of Charles University based on re

            from the Charles University Commercialisation Council. The faculties in which the particip
            are located are directly responsible for implementing specific sub-projects.
