Following the research of the Czech Geological Survey implemented within the Strategic Research Plan for 2012-2015 and 2016-2020, research activities are currently being carried out in accordance with the approved Long-term Concept of Development of the CGS Research Organisation ("DKRVO" in Czech) for the period 2018-2022.

This DKRVO serves as the basis for the decision of the Ministry of the Environment to provide institutional support. The DKRVO has been prepared in accordance with the Research and Development Concept of the Ministry of the Environment for the years 2016 - 2025. The DKRVO represents the general framework of the research organisation's activities for the years 2018 - 2022, with the specific activities of the Research Organisation for the relevant calendar year being specified in more detail in the annex to the decision on the provision of institutional support for the DKRVO.

In addition, the CGS is involved in a number of other research projects. At the national level, these are projects implemented through individual ministries of the Czech Republic (Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, Ministry of Regional Development, Ministry of Transport, etc.), as well as the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and other institutions and enterprises.

As part of broad international cooperation, the Czech Geological Survey is involved in a number of projects at the level of bilateral agreements, foreign development cooperation, various types of EU projects, EEA/Norway Financial Mechanisms, environmental operational programmes or operational programmes of cross-border cooperation.
