Pilot Projects

Pilot projects are intended to give incentive to using information technologies (IT). They study various possibilities of usage and provide concrete examples of applying IT in various fields of human activities. Their objective is to acquire new experiences and to present the academic community and the general public with the advantages of IT implementation, but also with the possible shortcomings and problems and to study the ways in which these could be solved. One of the issues that the started projects have to answer refers to whether information technology contributes to the improvement of the quality of work and living.

Pilot projects may be started by any member of the academic and research community, and this possibility exists also for various associations, schools, societies, that is, any interested party. The proposal for the project should be submitted to CARNET by filling in the project proposal form (the necessary documents are listed in the column on the right). Upon receiving the project proposal submission, CARNET considers the proposal over a period of two weeks and contacts the proposal submitter for further discussion, or sends the proposal for reviewing, which prolongs the procedure to about one month.
