Knowledge Transfer Centre Activities

What do we do?

The centre’s activities stem from the FM VŠE Strategic Plan, specifically addressing the goals of Support Area 3: Cooperation and Knowledge-Sharing. Its principal mission is to manage and coordinate cooperation and knowledge transfer with the faculty’s stakeholders at local, national and international levels.

  1. Strengthen cooperation with the faculty’s key stakeholders at local, national and international levels.
  2. Enhance the transfer of knowledge into practice.
  3. Reinforce the faculty’s social-educational role.
