Zusammenfassung
The sustainable development framework is set in the Czech Republic as well as in the Slovak Republic to outline and define the areas of specific focus and support in order to ensure the balanced development of the economical, ecological and social pillar of the countries. The Czech SD Strategy addressed 5 key areas 1) Society, people and health, 2) Economy and innovation, 3) Spatial development, 4) Landscape, ecosystems and biodiversity and 5) A stable and secure society. Nevertheless the Slovak SD strategy approved in 2001 set the framework on following key areas: 1) developed democratic country, 2) modern state and system of the governance, 3) developed society, social solidarity and social protection, 4) balanced spatial development, 5) high potential of the human resources, 6) new economy model, 7) high quality of the environment, its protection and sustainable use of natural resources. In those areas the follow-up sectoral policies and action programmes are to be defined in both countries. One of national action programmes is the research, development and innovation framework which besides the SD strategies implement as well the other commitments. The new motto of the Czech R&D&I reform and programme from 2008 onwards which is “Science creates knowledge through money, innovation makes money from knowledge” represent the main idea that the research projects and their products will have to generate real use and will “pay off”. This article briefly introduces a situation of the research programmes in the area of environmental sustainability in the Czech and Slovak Republic. The framework of sustainable development as well as the R&D&I of both countries will be presented. The identified programmes and projects in the area of environmental sustainability will be given in the structured way with its reference to the SD national strategy. The main Czech builder of the information system for the environment and so called eEnvironment – CENIA will be introduced. The investigation and acquisition of national research programmes and projects of the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the field of ICT for Environmental Sustainability” for the EU project ICT-ENSURE was carried out by CENIA, Czech Environmental Information Agency.
