Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)  

MIT-Czech Republic IOCB Tech Foundation Seed Fund

Following the cooperation between the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (CAS), the IOCB Tech Foundation Seed Fund and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) within the MIT-Czech Republic IOCB Tech Foundation Seed Fund, a call for joint project proposals is open from 16 September to 16 December 2025. The call is open to all scientific disciplines. 

No online information session for those interested in collaborating with MIT and receiving support from the Fund is planned for this year. Please use this link to see the recording of last year’s online session.

The program that was created in 2021 is a collaboration between MIT, the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the CAS, and its subsidiary IOCB Tech. It is now funded by the IOCB Tech Foundation, which contributes $100,000 per year to the program. The fund supports 3 to 5 new collaborations each year between scientists from CAS research institutes and universities in the Czech Republic and MIT partners, up to $25,000, with funding available to cover travel and accommodation costs associated with working meetings and research internships. Successful applicants will be decided by April of the following year and the first trips will be available in June 2026.

For further information, please visit the MIT website or the CAS website.
