Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)  

MIT-Czech Republic IOCB Foundation Seed Fund

Following the cooperation between the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS), the IOCB Foundation Seed Fund and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) within the MIT-Czech Republic IOCB Foundation Seed Fund, a call for joint project proposals is open from 1 September to 3 December 2026. The call is open to all scientific disciplines. 

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 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 are announced in early spring of the following year. Grantees have roughly 20 months to complete their projects.

Further information and the option to submit an application are available on the MIT website.
