Mobility Plus Programme

Bilateral cooperation of the Czech Academy of Sciences is implemented through programmes supporting researcher mobility, in the form of 2- to 3-year Mobility Plus projects carried out in cooperation with partner organizations from more than 20 countries. The aim of these projects is to establish or deepen scientific cooperation that will lead to the preparation of large joint international research projects. The calls are not restricted to specific research areas and are launched annually, usually in the spring. Partner research teams submit a joint project proposal, aim to achieve common outputs, and make use of the facilities, equipment, and complementary techniques and methodologies available at the collaborating organizations throughout the implementation of the project. Each participating organization covers the costs of its own national part of the project. The level of financial support may vary depending on the country and the partner organization. Eligible costs include mobility costs and costs directly related to the research activities of the project (consumables, services, small equipment, and networking activities).
