These grants support cross-border dialog among young people in the V4 countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) by Funding short-term mobility of youth in the age group 12–30. Projects can focus on one of the thematic focus areas of the programme – for the Faculty of Science, e.g., the focus area “SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE” can be relevant as it includes e.g., raising awareness regarding climate change or loss of biodiversity, or community-based ecological projects, etc. – but projects on other topics can be also supported. In each project, the following underlying principles should be present: Inclusiveness; Teaching and learning, Cross-border cooperation and good neighbourhood.

At least 2 V4 countries must participate in a project, entities from some neighbours of V4 countries (Austria, Germany, Ukraine) can also participate. Maximal grant amount is EUR 10 000. The budget is calculated as a “lump sum” (fixed contribution per participant and day). It can be used to cover any kinds of costs directly associated with the project (accommodation, travel, entrance fees, honoraria, etc.). Maximal time frame for project implementation is 6 months, during which single or multiple shrt-term visits or exchanges (a few days each) can take place.
