  11. JOINT GENOMIC CENTER A FLAGSHIP FOR NEW BIOECONOMY

  12. What is the difference and relationship between traditional (classical) breeding, genetic engineering (GMO) and genomics (the systematic biological approach) Classic BreedingCarried out only in evolutionary closed organisms Parent А Parent БNEW VARIETY x ...............….. selection: 10-15 years Sexual crossing(thousands of genes of both parents are mixed ) Genetic engineeringIt is possible to be carried between all types of organisms DNA - Virus- Bacterium- Animal- Plants- Animal- Man Transfer in plant cell or any other New genetically improved variety Selection 2-3 years Selection and cloning of one gene Genomics Genomics is a modern concept for simultaneous testing (integrated or holistic approach) the potential of the cell in any living organism at the level of gene, protein, metabolites, with the help of modern high technologies, including information (computer) technologies. ...

  13. What is GENOMICS (the common name of system biology approach) BIOINFORMATICS DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) The genes are in it - about 2-3% = 25-50 thousand(Genomics) ENVIRONMENT sugars metabolites protein RNA DNA Protein (PROTEOMICS) fat • METABOLITES • (Secondary active compounds ~300 thousands) • phenols • vitamins • Alcaloids • Organic acids, etc. Cell and molecular farming • How do genes, proteins, metabolites work • Is there a difference between them in various organisms, what is their composition and structure • How they interact • What and how they are regulated • Why proteins and secondary metabolites are food and medicines, while DNA is not • Food and feed • Medicines • Textile and Garment • Chemistry • Bio-energy • Bio-plastics • Bio-colouring agents, etc.

  15. Education in foreign languagesin Slovakia

  16. University Science Parks and Research Centres Current situation in Slovak Republic (2007 – 2014) • 67 Centres of Excellence (support excellent fundamental research) • 8 Competence Centres (relatively large clusters of academic institutions and industry) • 11 University Science Parks and Research Centres (5 already implementing Bratislava,Trnava, Košice, Nitra, Žilina), with links to businesses

  17. Societalchallenges • Health, demographic change and wellbeing • Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and • maritime research & the Bioeconomy • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Smart, green and integrated transport • Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials • Inclusive, innovativeand reflectivesocieties • Securesocieties Horizont 2020 - Priorities • Excellentscience • EuropeanResearchCouncil • Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) • Mobility – MarieSkłodowska-Curieactions • EuropeanResearchinfrastructures • Industrialleadership • Leadership in enabling andindustrial technologies (ICT, nanotechnologies, materials, biotechnology, ...) • Access to risk finance • Innovation in SMEs • EURATOM • Nuclearfusion and radiationsafety • Nuclearfission (ITER) EIT - EuropeanInstitute of Innovation & Technology JointResearch Centre
