OIKOS
"A source of practical solutions"

What do we do?

| Print |

We are a consultancy company that deals with preparation of projects, funding search and application for them and monitoring and reporting on projects in the field of regional development, environmental management and nature conservation.

When deciding on potential projects, the size of the project and the client are not as important as the content and challenges a project brings.

Both companies as well as municipalities and government institutions are among our clients. The cost of our projects ranges from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand Euros. Besides consultancy and the preparation of projects Oikos is also engaged in research activities.

Our favourite projects are demanding, »impossible« ones with new topics that require a creative approach, use of interesting methods and active collaboration with the client!

A list of our products shows best what we do. But the best way of learning about our approach and methods of work, the contents of projects and our ideas is to contact us directly.

Regional Development

Knowledge of the complete programming cycle is needed for successful development planning…

Planning is a process in which we determine the current status of the territory, the region, municipality, company ... and the current needs. On this basis, we determine the measures for reaching the objectives and the appropriate projects i.e. the path to the desired state. Knowledge of the complete programming cycle is essential for successful development planning, which is our important advantage.

Environmental protection

Environmental protection and sustainable development are the basis of our activities…

Environmental protection is one of the cornerstones of our activities and is reflected in the company's name. With its experience, knowledge, contacts at home and abroad, with its practical approach and way of thinking, Oikos provides services at all levels: from the integration of environmental objectives at the strategic level to environmental measures at the technical level.

Nature protection

We have an integrated approach to nature protection…

...as we believe that only this approach allows long-term effects and satisfaction of all stakeholders. In our opinion, nature protection is much more than preserving the current status, as today it represents a significant opportunity for the development of various areas. We actively involve all stakeholders in nature protection in order to jointly determine the objectives of protected areas and through them develop the necessary regimes, measures and methods to reach our goals.

Research projects

We also operate in the research area…
