Abstracts

EN

The European Commission pays great attention to the need of innovations in the area of research, development and education since this area remains behind in comparison with the advanced countries such as the USA and Japan. The upgrading of education in the way it is stressed by the resolutions of the Bologna Process points up the necessity of increasing the quality by emphasising the linking of science and practice as well as gaining of skills and knowledge for their better application in practice. Therefore it will be necessary, even in the conditions of Slovakia which remains behind significantly as to the support of science and education, to direct the structural funds of the European Union towards modernisation of the universities and other institutions of higher education so that it could be possible to assure the qualities of research and improve the conditions in students’ preparation for their better performance in practice. In their paper the authors point to the possibilities of implementing the innovations in the area of research and development by presenting an example of the Research & Development and Information Centre of Bioenergy (VVICB) at Kapusany, and they also demonstrate the practical solutions of these activities.

Modernizacia vzdelavania, ako sa zdórazńuje v uzneseni bolonskeho procesu je nutnosf zvysovania kvality s dorazom na prepojenie vedy a praxe, ako aj z^skavanie zrucnosti a znalosti pre ich lepsie uplatnenie v praxi. Preto bude nutne, a to aj v podmienkach, Slovenska prispief vyznamnou mierou k podpore vedy a vzdelania.

Autori vo svojej praci poukazuju na możnosti realizacie inovacn v oblasti vyskumu a vyvoja tym, że predstavuju pr^klad Vyskumno - vyvojoveho a informacniho centra bioenergie (VVICB) na Ekonomickej univerzite v Bratislave pracovisko Kapusany. To centrum vyskumu a vzdelavania ma prispief k prenosu idey vyużitia obnovite1nych zdrojov energie do praxe a tież ukazaf prakticke riesenia tychto aktivit. Tato vedecka praca bola vytvorena realizaciou projektu "Nove technológie pre ekologicky a ekonomicky efektivneho zlepsenia biomasy na energeticke vyużitie", ITMS, kód projektu 26220220063 na zaklade podpory Operacneho programu veda a vyskum, financovaneho z Európskeho fondu regionalneho rozvoja.
