The Czech Science Foundation (GA ČR), in cooperation with the Polish agency National Science Centre (NCN), is announcing a call for project proposals based on the Lead Agency evaluation principle with the expected start of the solution in 2027. GA ČR acts as a partner organization in this call, and the proposals are evaluated by NCN.

Objectives

On the Czech side, the applicant fills in GRIS (the project needs to be established in the Lead Agency – Partner Organization – 2027 – NCN (Poland) call) -  information about the Czech applicant and the budget (the budget of the Czech team in detail and the Polish budget in summary). Instead of the part C1, we attach the submitted Polish proposal.

Limitations

Projects submitted to this call will be counted towards the maximum number of project proposals submitted to calls with an expected start of work in 2027, meaning that the applicant for the Czech side in this call will no longer be able to submit another proposal as an applicant in the spring (April 2026) GA ČR competition.

Projects are a maximum of three years, GA ČR allows a project duration of 24 or 36 months. The duration of the implementation must be the same for both sides.
