The call will support joint Czech-American projects of basic research, industrial research and experimental development, targeting all fields of science. project duration is 3–4 years (projects can start no earlier than 1. 3. 2026 and end no later than 31. 12. 2029). Funding rate for research organisations in case of basic research or non-economic activities is 100 %. The total allocation for the call is CZK 300 million and it is expected that about 35 projects will be supported.
The application must include a “Letter of Intent” from the American partner, signed by the statutory representative of the American partner, indicating the intention to cooperate on the research project.
To the best of our knowledge, there is no complementary funding source for this call on the American side (no call, no programme, so recommended funding body). The American partner must find their own resources to fund their part of project activities (sometimes it can be even funded by their institution).
