CELSA (Central Europe Leuven Strategic Alliance) is and alliance of KU Leuven with universities from Central and Eastern Europe, including Charles University. Partners (researchers) from at least 2 CELSA universities must participate in a project supported by the CELSA Research Fund, at least 1 partner must be from KU Leuven. Projects can focus on any scientific discipline.

CELSA universities participating in the call:

• Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary
• Charles University, Prague, Czechia
• Czech Technical University in Prague, Prague, Czechia
• Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary
• KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium

Project duration is 2 years, project implementation should start on 1. 10. 2025. Maximum budget of a project with 2 partners (2 participating CELSA universities) is up to EUR 130 000 for the whole project duration (EUR 100 000 for the partner from KU Leuven, EUR 30 000 for the partner from the other CELSA university). For each other participating CELSA university, the maximal budget of the project is increased by EUR 30 000. A participant from Charles University can NOT use their budget to cover investment costs or refreshment costs.

A proposal is submitted electronically by the partner from KU Leuven. Within 3 years after its start, the CELSA project must result in a joined project proposal submitted to a call of Horizon Europe or a similar research programme.

Charles University expects to support up to 3 projects in this call (if the applications are successful in the evaluation process). In total, ca. 10–12 projects should be supported in this call in the entire CELSA network.
