The goal of the Sub-objective 3 of the programme Sigma is to strengthen social sciences, humanities and arts in applied research and innovation activities and to apply the outputs of these activities in the form of new or substantially improved products, procedures, processes, or services. Supports the use of the innovation potential of social sciences, humanities and arts and their involvement in applied research and innovation projects that are beneficial for maintaining and increasing the quality of human life in response to dynamic social, economic, globalisation, cultural, or technological changes.

An “application guarantor” from Czechia must be involved in each proposal. Application guarantor is typically a future user of the project results (e.g., a public authority, an enterprise, etc.) that declares interest in the project results and participates in setting the project plan. Application guarantor can be an internal one – a member of project consortia and receive funding, or an external one (list of institutions that can act as external application guarantor will be specified in the call documentation).

Project duration can be 12–42 months, maximal grant amount per project is CZK 12 million, funding rate is up to 80% (for whole project).
