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. Applications will be gradually approved by the organization administrators (RMU).
