The Research, Development and Education Operation Program (OP VVV) is a theme program spanning several years, sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The program allows drawing support from European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) in the 2014 – 2020 program time frame.

OP VVV aims to help the Czech Republic move towards an economy based on educated, motivated and creative workforce, on production and exploitation of quality research results to improve the country’s competitiveness.

The operation program focuses on improving the quality of education, providing conditions for good quality research, interlinking education and research with the labour force and promoting the principle of equal access to education. At the same time, it aims to reduce the risk of young people’s failure at education which will have a significant influence over the quality of their lives and their success at the labour market.  OP VVV also supports quality and effectiveness improvement in education and specialist training, fairness, social cohesion and active citizenship, promotion of creativity and innovativeness, and business skill development on all levels of education and training.
