The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the Czech Science Foundation / Grantová Agentura České Republiky (GA ČR) jointly offer the possibility to apply for bilateral Czech-Austrian Joint Research Projects. Joint Research Projects should combine the complementary expertise of the project partners; therefore the project parts should be closely integrated and there should be relevant scientific input from both sides.
Project duration
Joint Projects submitted to the call between FWF and GA ČR can have a duration of up to three years.
Thematic scope of the call
The call is open to all areas of scientific research, including clinical research.
Deadline
Joint proposals must be submitted via the FWF Elane system (http://elane.fwf.ac.at) to FWF by 16 March 2018.
Once the application has been completed, a PDF cover sheet can be generated. This cover sheet must be signed, stamped, and sent to the FWF by conventional mail on 16 March at the latest. Alternatively, the signed/stamped cover sheet can be scanned in, signed using the applicant's qualified electronic signature1 and sent to the FWF by e-mail (office@fwf.ac.at). Please note that a signed/stamped version of the cover sheet without a qualified signature will not suffice!
The applicants on the Czech side must submit only the necessary GA ČR application forms (available here: https://gacr.cz/mezinarodni-aktivity/la-spoluprace/) directly to GA ČR (e-mail: la.fwf@gacr.cz) by the call deadline.
