Project title: Business Process Management Laboratory

Registration number: CZ.02.2.67/0.0/0.0/16_016/0002541

Project launch date: 01/08/2017

Project end date: 29/02/2020

Own sources of funding: CZK 953,096.70

This project is co-funded by the EU.

Project objectives:

The main objective of the project is to modernise laboratories for practical education in study programmes reflecting the needs of the labour market. Newly equipped laboratories will be created with equipment simulating an “intelligent factory” for the management of business processes. This will enable university students to acquire the necessary skills from real production and thus contribute to increasing the qualification of students of study programmes aimed at the labour market and thus to their improved employability.
