Partnerships for Cooperation (KA2)
Cooperation Partnerships: The primary goal of Cooperation Partnerships is to allow organisations to increase the quality and relevance of their activities, to develop and reinforce their networks of partners, to increase their capacity to operate jointly at transnational level, boosting internationalisation of their activities, and through exchanging or developing new practices and methods as well as sharing and confronting ideas.
Small-scale Partnerships: this action aims at widening access to the programme to small-scale actors and individuals who are hard to reach in the fields of school education, adult education, vocational education and training, youth and sport. With lower grant amounts awarded to organisations, shorter duration and simpler administrative requirements compared to the Cooperation Partnerships, this action aims at reaching out to grassroots organisations and newcomers to the Programme and less experienced organisations, reducing entry barriers to the programme for organisations with smaller organisational capacity.

GA CR announced the LA call with Slovenia, with a deadline on the foreign side of 28/02/2023 (deadline on the Czech side of 7/03/2023).
ATTENTION - proposals submitted to this call will be counted towards the maximum number of project proposals submitted to calls with the expected start of the solution in 2023! This means that it counts towards the limit of projects submitted in the previous year. Therefore, if a researcher has "exhausted" the possibilities of submission (1 project proposal as a proposer and 1 project proposal as a co-proposer in April 2022), he/she can no longer participate in this call.

The annual workshops are organized by the Prague Technology Centre and the Expert Group to support applicants in ERC calls:
- Due to limited capacity, the ERC Expert Group for Supporting Applicants for ERC Grants will now focus exclusively on the younger generation of scientists. The participants will therefore be limited to ERC Starting and ERC Consolidator applicants only.

Registration for the workshops will open on 11 March 2024 at noon. The earliest deadline for online registration and submission of supporting materials will be April 14, 2024. When capacity is reached (including the alternate list), registration will be closed (which may occur before the April 14, 2024 deadline).
As in past years, the following will be required to participate:
Complete the online application (see document here) form and then send by email the title and abstract of the project, CV and track record of the applicant in a form and length corresponding to the ERC Work Programme 2024.
The date and time of receipt of the completed materials will be decisive for admission to the workshops.
The workshops will take place according to a standardised schedule in May, June and September 2024:
15 May 2024 - Life Sciences (LS)
16 May 2024 - Physical Sciences and Engineering (PE)
17 May 2024 - Social Sciences and Humanities (SH)

All new projects of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic will already be submitted in the new SISTA information system. Therefore, log in/register early and connect with the MU organization. More instructions here (in Czech).
As for ongoing projects, their administration is still running in the original ISTA. Data from these projects will be automatically transferred to SISTA during 2025.
As for new calls that will be announced in 2025, they will already be running through the new SISTA. So, anyone who wants to participate in new calls must first "connect" in their profile with the organization for which they will submit a proposal. Masaryk University is already registered in SISTA and it is therefore possible to request a connection. Here is a link to instructions on how to connect with a registered organization.
