The Network of Excellence is coordinated by Michael Sebek. It consists of 14 companies and
universities from NL, GB, S, I, F, CZ, SK, PL and CH.
European Network of Excellence enables research cooperation and technology transfer in the
field of polynomial techniques for signals, systems and control. Internal members:
UTIA (CZ), U. of Twente (NL), Strathclyde U. (GB), Politecnico di Milano (I), LAAS Toulouse (F),
Glasgow U. (GB), Uppsala U. (S), Compureg (CZ), ProCS (SK), CVUT FEL (CZ), Slovak Technical
University (CZ), Faculty Zlin VUT (CZ), U. Warsaw (PL). The network is open to external members
that currently include Ericsson (S), Daimler-Chrysler (D), UMIST (GB), and TU. Linz (A) and many others.
Probably the first EC Copernicus project coordinated also financially from the Czech Republic.
