EUREKA

COST L. Hudec -NPC since 1993

Marec 2004

The EUREKA/COST office as a part of SARC is paid by the government. The new projects obtain financing from Ministry of

Education to support the definition phase. The funding of running projects still remains a problem

and is usually provided by branch ministries.

NIP uses various occasions to disseminate information about EUREKA all around the country

(Žilina, Košice, Prešov, Bratislava, Zvolen, Nitra, Trenčín)
