Learning outcomes
|
National sources of funding for science and research are proving insufficient in at least three respects. 1) These sources alone are unable to adequately cover the growing need for scientific research infrastructure in the Czech Republic. 2) National funding often does not take into account certain types or forms of research, or is unable to cover large-scale collaborative and international research projects. 3) Foreign funding has a direct positive impact on the reputation of institutions and the scientific prestige of individuals.
Students will learn to navigate the institutional framework of research funding in the EU, particularly in programs such as ERC, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Interreg Europe, COST/Inter-COST, EMBO, and others. They will be able to understand the principles, criteria, and evaluation processes used in European grant schemes. They will be familiar with the main international sources of research funding outside the EU, including prestigious foundations and fellowships (Alexander von Humboldt, Volkswagen Stiftung, Fulbright, Aktion, Mellon Foundation, GO8, Matsumae Fellowship, institutes of advanced studies, research libraries, etc.). Students will understand the differences between national and international grant systems, their strategies, and funding.
