Centre for Organic Chemistry Ltd. (COC - Centrum organické chemie s.r.o.) has been established as a research  organisation whose primary goal is to conduct fundamental research, industrial research or experimental development and to disseminate its results by way of teaching, publications and technology transfer.

The activies of COC are focused mainly on advanced organic  compounds which are characterized by a number of interesting physical and chemical properties. The properties make these smart materials extremely interesting and challenging field of research in view of the “post-silicon” era and have many potential applications in electronics, photonics, photovoltaics, UV protection, etc.  Besides, COC has been engaged in functional π-π  electron systems  applicable as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy and in development materials with powerful antimicrobial functions.

Fundamental and industrial research in the area of organic compounds for electronics and other high-tech applications and also systems exercisable in life sciences, is now perfomed in COC in collaboration with Czech and foreign academia institutions and manufacturing companies. COC, academia and industrial sectors have established close links in a number of joint R&D and innovation projects. In additional, COC experts participated in FP6 project NANOEFFECTS and at present they are involved in FP7 project INNOSHADE.

COC is commited to giving you the very best research and development experience possible.
