This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
CEITEC BUT is an independent scientific institute at the Brno University of Technology, which was established within the framework of the CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology.
Plastr is a Zlín regional cluster with 4 priority sectors: education and human resources development and innovation, cooperation, common purchase and sale of services and promotion. Plastr represents important institutions of the Zlín region: Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín, the Zlín Region, Association for the Development of the Zlín Region and regional Technological Innovation Centre.
The partnership addresses interregional and intersegment cooperation, when stakeholders from different regions meet each other and cooperate on one side and stakeholders from different application fields share the benefits from mutual cooperation on the other side (automotive, plastics, furniture, polymer industry, coating, waste management are targeted and meet each other).
Multilateral approach in cooperation is strongly involved. Interregional universities cooperate with interregional companies across different industrial sectors.
Becoming the cluster member, all parties, the cluster, the companies – members of the cluster and CEITEC achieved direct access to each other in terms of different needs.

Evidence of success
The volume of the contractual research provided by the CEITEC to the cluster is increasing according to close relation and connection between the cluster and CEITEC. The CEITEC is equipped with CT labs and provides CT measurements and data of samples, the cluster is equipped with imaging and analysing tools and provides analysis on these CT data. Also CEITEC started to provide CT measurements for members of Plastics Cluster.
Potential for learning or transfer
The main stakeholders are those who contribute from mutual cooperation:
• CEITEC BUT and its research groups involved within the partnership as well as other universities and research centres involved – Plastr members
• Plastr members
• third parties - companies and other institution who can benefit from the shared expertise (especially in case of multilateral projects of collaboration)
Becoming Plaster member, all parties, Plastr, members of Plastr and CEITEC BUT achieved direct access to each other in terms of different needs:
• Plastr has got another strong partner with wide scientific experience (however, besides CEITEC BUT, there are several other research centres and universities involved in Plastr)
• members of the Plastr have got an unique access to the CEITEC BUT infrastructure and expertise and can jointly decide on such an expertise extension time by time
• CEITEC BUT has got new partners for both, contractual research and collaboration
• CEITEC BUT and its research groups involved within the partnership as well as other universities and research centres involved – Plastr members
• Plastr members
• third parties - companies and other institution who can benefit from the shared expertise (especially in case of multilateral projects of collaboration)
