Pilot Projects

Pilot projects are intended to incentivize the use of information technologies (IT). They explore various usage possibilities and provide concrete examples of applying IT in different fields of human activity. Their objective is to gain new experience and to present the academic community and the general public with the advantages of IT implementation, as well as with possible shortcomings and problems, and to study ways in which these could be resolved. One of the questions that the initiated projects must answer concerns whether information technology contributes to improving the quality of work and life.

Pilot projects may be initiated by any member of the academic and research community. This possibility also extends to various associations, schools, societies, and any other interested parties. Project proposals should be submitted to CARNET by completing the project proposal form (required documents are listed in the right-hand column). Upon submission, CARNET will review the proposal for two weeks and either contact the submitter for further discussion or send the proposal for external review, which may extend the process to approximately one month.
