Práce se zabývá vývojem a zhodnocením dosavadních forem podpory podnikání a dotací ze strukturálních fondů. Cílem práce je komplexně zmapovat systém implementace strukturálních fondů v ČR, především se zaměřením na následující finanční perspektivu v období 2007-2013, a přispět tak k lepší orientaci subjektů ČR ve velice složitém systému předkládání žádostí a projektových záměrů a umožnit jim získat obecné povědomí o fungování dotační politiky EU. Dalším cílem práce je přispět i v oblasti metodiky zpracování projektových žádostí a řízení projektů spolufinancovaných ze strukturálních fondů EU.
