Slovakia's Ministry of Education is suggesting the establishment of a National Center for Science, Technology and Society. This proposal is included in the draft bill on the organization of state support of research and development that the ministry submitted for interdepartmental review. The center should be in charge of research and development. Laboratories and technical installations it would have should also be used for teaching university students as well as lifelong education projects.
The draft bill also changes the method of providing funding from the state budget for research and development. In addition to local beneficiaries, also foreign organizations could apply for public funding.
