Popis: Low qualification of Technology Transfer professionals has been identified as a significant obstacle to improvement of TT in the CR. Trainings in this field are numerous but unsystematic and lack necessary quality standards. Situation being similar in many EU countries, EC funded two projects aimed at establishing standards for accreditation of TT training providers and certification of their students. As their outcome EuKTS was launched as EU-wide TT accreditation and certification body. The paper reports implementation of this initiative in the Czech Republic: in three related projects more than 900 students were trained and about 300 obtained the EU certificate.
