\nThe first major ICKK project is the Cassovia New Industry Cluster (CNIC), whose ambitious goal is ready to include a sustainable knowledge economy in the region of Eastern Slovakia to include i) material and biomedical technologies, ii) green and digital technologies and iii) quantum technologies. Closely related to this main goal is the contribution to the development of social areas, including the care of an aging population (the so-called “Silver Economy”) and a healthy lifestyle for the working-age population.
\nThe history of the CNIC project dates back to 2014 when the Department of Biophysics PF UPJ\u0160 acquired the prestigious European project “Fostering Excellence in Multiscale Cell Imaging” (CELIM FP7-REGPOT-2012-2013-1). The demand for the sustainability of the project led to the creation of the “Center for Interdisciplinary Biosciences”, which subsequently became an essential part of another milestone in the team led by professor Pavol Mi\u0161kovsk\u00fd on the creation of a modern scientific-application center of international level. Thus, in 2017, the rector of UPJ\u0160 prof. Pavol Sov\u00e1k established the “Technology and Innovation Park UPJ\u0160” (TIP-UPJ\u0160). Intensive work of the TIP-UPJ\u0160 team in cooperation with the JRC in Brussels and member experts of the European Commission subsequently led to the creation of the “Cassovia New Industry Cluster” project, in which all Ko\u0161ice universities, selected SAS institutes, the private high-tech sector, the city of Ko\u0161ice and the Ko\u0161ice Self-governing region.
\nOur main task in 2021 is to prepare the complete project documentation of the CNIC project so that in 2022 it can be registered with its implementation.
