The limit per a project/activity is CZK 150,000 for strategic partners.

The financial support only goes to those activities that cannot be alternatively funded from:

• external resources (EU programmes, etc.)

• internal resources (Post-doc fund, Mobility fund, etc).

When creating the budget, economic principles, the purpose, and the effectiveness of the resources must be considered.

Final reports – We ask you to send these immediately after the closing/billing of each project, i.e. on a continuous basis.

Eligible costs:

i) Travel costs, subsistence allowance and accommodation costs of CU employees travelling abroad in the amount of the basic rate of foreign subsistence allowance according to the valid decree;

iv) Support of joint research centres or centres with strategic partners – if joint research or strategic centres are established, the Fund for the Support of Strategic Partnerships may partially subsidize their activities.
