The EC published work programs for individual parts of the Horizon Europe program for the years 2021-2022 on the Funding & tender opportunities portal.
Work programs (WP) can be downloaded here.
WP for individual clusters and other components of Horizon Europe (ERC, MSCA ...) contain details of individual calls for the years 2021 and 2022.
The first calls will be announced from 22.6.2021.
The Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (GA CR) has concluded a cooperation agreement with the US government agency National Science Foundation (NSF).
Researchers from the Czech Republic and the USA, with the support of both agencies, will be able to prepare proposals in the fields of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology or plasma sciences or astronomy and astrophysics, and in some areas of the social sciences.
The call for project proposals will be opened later this year. The costs of individual projects will be shared by the agencies - the Czech part of the project will be financed by the GA CR and the American part by NSF.
We will inform you about the opening of the call.
The TA CR modified the plan of calls for the year 2021 - in the autumn of 2021, compared to the original plan, another public tender should be announced, including a call within the ETA Program.
The event will aim to acquaint academics and researchers with the planned activities at the university level and provide space for expressing comments and suggestions on the submitted material. The meeting will be divided into two parts. The first part of the workshop will present the emerging Open Science Strategy 2022–2028 at MUNI and its practical implications for research. Foreign guests will acquaint us with the current state of Open Science project conditions for Horizon Europe programs and examples of good practice in implementing Open Science in scientific communication abroad. The interactive part will be devoted to discussing the suggestions obtained at the so-called “Open Science Roadshow”, which took place during the spring months at individual economic centers and presented the strategy in more detail. The June workshop should summarize the findings and give space for further discussion of the submitted material. The summer months will then be used to finalize the strategic document, action plan, and related supporting methodologies and documents. The final version of the MUNI 2022–2028 Open Science Strategy should be ready in September this year so that the university management can officially approve it by the end of the year.
At present, proposals can be submitted to the call LA grants - GA CR in the role of a partner agency with:
Austria - Austrian Science Fund (FWF) - a continuous call
Germany - German Research Foundation (DFG) - a continuous call
The call with Switzerland - Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) - will be announced, with a deadline of October 1, 2021.
The call with Poland (NCN) and Slovenia (ARRS) should be announced in autumn 2021.
In May and June, several events will take place aimed at gaining support and orientation in HEU programs.

Tips for interesting events and workshops for the new Horizon Europe framework program:
In the discussion, Stella Horváthová from the Ministry of Regional Development of the Czech Republic will then present the upcoming call Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE 2021-2027.
The Open Science Roadshow goal is to present the draft of the Open Science Strategy MUNI 2022-2028 at individual Faculties and Institutes and to obtain feedback from academics. The feedback will help the University Open Science Team finalize the strategy draft and prepare it for university management approval in autumn 2021.
Webinar intended to introduce data management and data management plans, how
