The Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (GA CR) announces a call for proposals for projects based on the Lead Agency evaluation principle with an expected start date of 2024. The competition period starts on 19 December 2022. The Czech part of the application can be submitted until 27 April 2023 at the latest.
The call concerns projects funded in cooperation with the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) under the initiative Weave. In this call, the Luxembourg agency FNR acts as Lead Agency, i.e. evaluates the project proposals scientifically and the GA CR takes over the results of the evaluation process.
Application form
The competition period starts on 19 December 2022. The Czech part of the application can be submitted until 27 April 2023 at the latest, i.e. 7 days after the official deadline of 20 April 2023 at 14:00, set by the FNR for Luxembourg applicants.
Please note that it is necessary for the joint international team to ensure that the application is submitted within the above deadlines to both the FNR (according to the relevant FNR rules) and the GA CR, i.e. by the Luxembourg applicant to the FNR and by the Czech applicant to the GA CR. If the two grant applications are not paired, the application will be excluded from the evaluation. In the case of trilateral projects, the application must also be submitted to a third relevant agency.
The rules for the submission of project proposals and the forms of the affidavits to demonstrate eligibility can be found in the annex below or under the "Tender documentation" tab.
