BIP
‘Technology-assisted life’ - a horizontal specialisation involving the use of innovative technological solutions (mainly in the area of broadly defined IT and photonic technologies, information and communication technologies and robotics and automation), as well as the processing and analysis of large data sets (big data, data mining), the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence, optimisation (e.g. compression, reduction) of data volumes, geo-information, etc.) in areas not related to the activity of enterprises, i.e. not related to production activities or B2B services.
Specialisation encompasses such fields of application of the above-mentioned technological solutions, which relate to public services (e.g. medical, educational, public administration, public safety) and those provided by municipal entities (energy supply, utilities, intelligent facilities, transport systems, etc.). Increasing urbanisation means that issues related to providing access to health care, ensuring safety, mobility, education, etc. are becoming a problem far beyond the capacity of individual institutions providing services in these areas. Similarly, demographic processes - the ageing of Europe's populations - mean that there is a strong demand for technologies to support the therapy, as well as the rehabilitation and daily life of the elderly and sick.
7.1.1.
Specialisation encompasses the implementation of photonic, information and communication technologies, as well as robotics and automation, which are not therapeutic technologies, but which support the clinical treatment of patients, particularly those with chronic diseases. The specialisation includes, inter alia, systems that release an active agent in a controlled manner (e.g. by 3D printing tablets or capsules).
7.1.2.
Specialisation encompasses the implementation of photonic, IT and telecommunication technologies as well as robotics and automation to rehabilitate and improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, chronic diseases or the elderly. The specialisation encompasses both purely IT solutions and broader solutions based on the assembly of sensor and detector systems, IT, telecommunication and robotic systems, exo- and endoprostheses and artificial organs based on mechanotronic systems that are part of the 'silver economy' concept.
7.2.1.
Specialisation encompasses the implementation of photonic, IT and telecommunications and fibre optic technologies, as well as robotics and automation applications related to utilities, intelligent buildings and facilities, and energy and utility supply. The specialisation ranges from purely IT solutions to broader solutions based on the assembly of sensor and detector systems, IT, telecommunications and robotics.
7.2.2.
Specialisation encompasses the implementation of photonic, information and telecommunications and fibre optic technologies, as well as robotics and automation in transport infrastructure and public transport applications. The specialisation includes both purely IT solutions and broader solutions based on the assembly of sensor and detector systems, IT, telecommunications and robotics, and public transport systems based on automated or autonomous transport solutions.
7.2.3.
Specialisation encompasses the implementation of photonic, IT and telecommunications and fibre optic technologies, as well as robotics and automation in public safety applications. The specialisation includes both IT-only solutions and broader solutions based on the assembly of sensor and detector systems, IT, telecommunications and robotics.
7.2.4.
Specialisation encompasses the implementation of photonic, IT, telecommunication and fibre-optic technologies as well as robotics and automation in applications related to the management of public administration and municipal services ('e-government', 'smart city' solutions, etc.), health services ('e-medicine') and education (including distance learning) and culture (e.g. virtual galleries, etc.). Specialisation ranges from purely IT solutions to broader solutions based on the assembly of sensor and detector systems, IT, telecommunications and robotics.
7.2.5.
Specialisation encompasses implementation or significant improvement in: processing and analysis of large data sets (big data, data mining), use of machine learning and artificial intelligence, optimisation (e.g. compression, reduction) of data volumes, geo-information, regardless of application area.
