Sona Systems - use of the research recruitment tool
Are you looking for a way to recruit participants to your research, manage their involvement, schedule the involvement of other researchers in the case of laboratory studies, as well as the optimal utilization and availability of rooms and equipment?
In 90 minutes you will be introduced to the basic features of Sona Systems' powerful tool, which can also be interfaced with more than 25 platforms for creating, managing and administering online research and lab experiments (Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, LimeSurvey, Cognition Lab, Open Lab...), while keeping your data completely secure. You can use these and other features both through the desktop interface and in the mobile app for iOS and Android. Find out how to do this in the workshop mentioned above.
The possible use of Sona Systems in citizen science will also be briefly presented and there will be time for your questions.
Date and time: Tuesday 4 February 2025 10.00-11.30

The Czech Science Foundation calls will probably be announced in mid-February 2025.
EXPRO will not be announced this year (the next call will be in 2026), the new possibility will be the Return Grants for scientists returning after a career break. The project will be able to be submitted within two years of the end of a career break associated with caring for a child or other dependent person for at least one year. The duration of the support will depend on the chosen level of commitment and will be two to four years. Researchers can also involve students and technical workers in the project implementation.
We will inform you about the announcement of the calls (via e-mails and NL). If you are interested in further information about the calls now, please contact me (lorencova@fss.muni.cz).

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.

Here is an overview of the open Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) calls for 2025:
1.) MSCA PF (Postdoctoral fellowships) - Fellowships enhance the creative and innovative potential of PhD researchers who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training and international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships will be open to excellent researchers of any nationality. The scheme also encourages researchers to work on research and innovation projects in the non-academic sector. It is open to researchers wishing to reintegrate into Europe, those displaced by conflict, and researchers with high potential seeking to restart their careers in research. For more information, see a separate post here.
Call opening: 8.5.2025
Call deadline: 10.9.2025
2.) MSCA COFUND 2025 - Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes (COFUND) supports new or existing doctoral programmes and postdoctoral fellowship schemes. The action aims to spread the best practices of the MSCA, including international, inter-sectoral, and interdisciplinary research training, as well as international and cross-sectoral mobility of researchers at all stages of their careers. More information here.
Call opening: 23.1.2025
Call deadline: 24.6.2025
3.) MSCA Doctoral Networks - MSCA Doctoral Networks will implement doctoral programmes through partnerships with universities, research institutions, research infrastructures, businesses, SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from countries across Europe and beyond.

5.) MSCA and Citizens: European Researchers' Night and Researchers at Schools 2026-2027 - MSCA and Citizens aims to bring research and researchers closer to the public to increase awareness of research and innovation activities and boost public recognition of science and research education. It will show the role of the researcher in society and the economy, as well as the impact of researchers’ work on citizens’ daily lives. It also aims to raise the interest of young people in research and scientific careers. MSCA and Citizens will address the general public, attracting people regardless of the level of their scientific background, with a specific focus on families, pupils, students, and notably those who do not have easy access to, and thus are less inclined to engage in, STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) or research activities. Inclusiveness should be key because it broadens access to science and research for all. More information here.
