The goal of COLOSSE is to increase the participation of Czech and Slovak plasma-enabled surface engineering R&I centres in Horizon Europe and future EU Framework Programmes for R&I. COLOSSE connects Czech and Slovak research facilities in the area of plasma-enabled surface engineering. The three research centres of COLOSSE have been among those supported in this major wave of ERDF investment. Their mission is to perform cutting-edge science with enabling potential for development of novel technologies. They have been shaping and supporting their regional ecosystems over a decade, creating networks of interactions that facilitate knowledge transfer and exploitation of surface engineering technologies. They have also developed international connections – which, however, have led only to isolated cases of involvement in international R&I projects.
