The aim of the ČVUT Starting Grant.is to support early-career academics with international experience and outstanding results to start their independent scientific careers at CTU. Applications for the program can be submitted from February 2 to March 30, 2026, and if successful, applicants will receive up to four million crowns per year for a period of three years. The money is intended to establish research groups, of which up to ten may be created.
The guarantor of the CTU Starting Grant program is Vice-Rector for Science Jan Zeman: "This activity is fully in line with the new rector's strategy. The goal is to attract the best young scientists to the university and help them fully develop their potential. This will benefit not only CTU, but society as a whole," he explains. It also includes efforts to systematically remove barriers that prevent talented people from fully participating in research, including those related to parenthood.
