Community
SmVaK Ostrava has been supporting non-profit organisations that work with children, young people, the handicapped and/or old age people.
For several years, we are supporting the Social Car Project which helps renewing the fleet of cars in schools and facilities which focus on education, improvement of health and integration of the children, young people and adults with health and/or mental handicaps.
We co-financed the purchase of 12 cars which are used now by the social and health facilities and organisations in the districts of Frýdek-Místek, Karviná, Nový Jičín, Opava and Ostrava.
SmVaK Ostrava also supports organisation of cultural, social and educational events in the region.
SmVaK Ostrava has been working closely for a long time with VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava (VŠB-TU). In 2015 VŠB-TU Ostrava and Technical University Košice (Slovakia) awarded SmVaK for its approach to discharge and treatment of wastewater.
VŠB-TU Ostrava has been involved in water research for decades. Graduates from VŠB-TU are among those who start their professional career in SmVaK Ostrava. The both partners have been working closely in R&D projects.
