EUREKA Project E!6725 REAL-Bridge with excellent final results

The OLTIS Group companies are traditionally successful in EUREKA research and development projects supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic. Based on conditions in Grant Agreements, for each ongoing or finishing project an Evaluation Committee meeting must be organised every January to show and prove the project results of the previous year.
