In the fourth edition of the call for 4EU+ mini-grants, Charles University selected 22 projects submitted by the member institutions. The researchers from the University of Warsaw take part in 19 projects.
Charles University supports the research cooperation within the 4EU+ Alliance by the so-called mini-grants. Teams from the member institutions, receive seed funding for their projects.
Projects are conducted within the 4EU+ flagships:
- Health and demographic change in an urban environment;
- Europe in a changing world: Understanding and engaging societies, economies, cultures and languages;
- Transforming science and society: Advancing information, computation and communication;
- Biodiversity and sustainable development.
Each team consists of a representative of Charles University and two or more representatives from other partners within the 4EU+ Alliance. The teams are encouraged to develop sustainable cooperation and submit joint proposals for further external funding.
The maximum amount to apply for is CZK 300,000 (approx. PLN 57,000). The allocated funds may be used to support research projects, including research itself, travel expenses, organising conferences and/ or workshops and preparatory project meetings, to support exchanges of doctoral candidates or post-docs, short-term stays within research teams, creation of common materials to enhance virtual mobility, or to support persons engaged in the preparation of the respective projects.
