CZ.01.01.01/01/22_002/0000682 Development of a new ecological anti-noise barriers – 2024 – 2026 – doc. Dr. Ing. Radek Stoček

The physical implementation of the project  CZ.01.01.01/01/22_002/0000682 „Development of a new ecological anti-noise barriers“ has begun.

The aim of the submitted project is to acquire new knowledge needed for the development of new products through the implementation of industrial research and experimental development. The results of the activities of business entities in cooperation with R&D capacities will lead to the introduction of innovations of these higher orders and to the creation of products competitive on world markets.

The output of the project will be a prototype of ecological anti-noise barriers that can be produced from recycled material, the basis of which will be rubber granules from tires.

Financial support from the EU is provided for the operation.
