The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA CR) is a Czech government agency, founded in 2009 to enhance and encourage cooperation between research organizations supported by the state and the business sector. Within its programmes, projects of applied research, experimental development and innovations are elected and financed.
The board of TA CR approves publication of public tenders in research and development and innovation, decides the conclusion of contracts on the support or a decision to grant of the support, then presents a draft statute and its amendments to the government for approval.
The chairwoman of TA CR is Rut Bízková, and other board members are Martin Bunček, Vladimír Kebo, Miroslav Janeček and Pavel Komárek.
The Office of TA CR is the organizational and administrative part of the agency and is responsible for the preparation of programmes and their documents, as well as the subsequent implementation of these programmes.
The Control Council of TA CR is the agency's supervisory authority, with ten members appointed by the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, proposed by legal entities engaged in research and development.
Membership of the control board is incompatible with a role in other TA CR authorities. The term of the office is four years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms.
The Research Council is the conceptual authority of The TA CR. The Research Council has twelve members, appointed and dismissed by the Government on the proposal of the Council for Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I Council). A term of office is four years. The Chairman of the Research Council and deputy chairman of the council are appointed and removed by the Government on the proposal of the R&D&I Council.
