The Czech Science Foundation (GA CR) has signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Israel Science Foundation (ISF). Thanks to this cooperation, Czech and Israeli scientists will be able to submit joint project proposals in the field of basic research from 2026.
Proposals will always be evaluated by one agency.
Support is expected for up to several dozen of the best-rated projects, which will be implemented over a period of three years.
The fellowship helps young scientists balance competitive scientific work with high-quality care for preschool-aged children.
TA CR informs about the preparation of the 3rd public competition in the Program for the Support of Applied Research and Innovation – THÉTA 2.
The public competition of the THÉTA 2 program is focused on fulfilling the vision of transformation and modernization of the energy sector in accordance with the approved strategic materials.
The announcement of this public competition is planned for 27. 8. 2025.
Centre for International Cooperation MU informs about the possibility of participating in the AIU Research Showcase 2025, organized by Akita International University (Japan).
This is an annual online event where academics from AIU and partner universities can share their current or recent research activities through asynchronous video presentations and thus establish contact with colleagues with similar research interests around the world. The event can help further develop international cooperation (projects, guest lectures, exchanges).
TA CR is preparing a call for support for applied research and innovation consisting of supporting the recruitment and long-term retention of internationally recognized experts in the field of applied research in research organizations.
TA CR offers the possibility of additionally involving an excellent worker newly arrived from abroad in an ongoing project, who will work in the Czech Republic for a long time and can significantly contribute to the solution of the supported project.
These must be researchers who have not previously had an employment relationship with the given organization and have lived abroad for at least three years. This involvement can be implemented through a change management. TA CR will assess the application taking into account the current budgetary situation in individual programs and the contribution of the given researcher to the solution of the project.
The new FSS grant strategy for 2025-2028 has been published.
The text of the document can be found here (in Czech).
In the MU Information System (MU IS), it is possible to complete the training on Processing and Protection of Personal Data for MU employees (GDPR training), also in English.
