Next Year, Czech Science Foundation to Fund 400+ New Projects Worth over CZK 3.7 Billion (€153 Million)

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR), as the most important provider of funding for basic research projects in the Czech Republic, will begin funding over 400 scientific projects from all areas of basic research starting next year. A total of over CZK 3.7 billion (€153 million) will be allocated to these projects.

“The Czech Science Foundation is here to give scientists the opportunity to have their scientific projects independently evaluated by experts in the field, and to fund the best ones,” says GACR President Prof. Milan Jirsa.

All project proposals have undergone a two-stage evaluation process involving exclusively scientists from Czech and those abroad. “The evaluation process complies with the standards of the most prestigious European basic research grant provider – the European Research Council (ERC). Thanks to its standards, the outputs of our evaluation are used both by partner institutions abroad in international projects and by Czech institutions to fund other excellent projects for which there are no funds left in the GACR budget,” adds Professor Jirsa.

Standard Projects

Standard Projects form the basis of grant funding for basic research in the Czech Republic. From 2026 onwards, GACR will fund 336 new Standard Projects worth CZK 3 billion (approx. €124 million). Project proposals with a duration of up to three years can be submitted by all researchers and their teams, regardless of their age and experience. This project scheme has been funded since 1993. Due to budget constraints, the proportion of projects receiving funding is at its historically lowest, reaching only 14%.

POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

Tenders under the POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP (PIF) scheme are announced in OUTGOING and INCOMING subcategories. The first one will enable early-career scientists to complete a two-year internship abroad, where they will gain valuable experience in the early stages of their careers. In the third year, they will put this experience to good use at a Czech institution. The second subcategory of the scheme (PIF INCOMING) allows researchers from other countries to work at a scientific institution in the Czech Republic. This tender is also used for the return of young Czech researchers from abroad. A total of 30 early-career researchers will receive these three-year grants starting next year. The grants will amount to over CZK 145 million (approx. €6 million).

JUNIOR STAR

JUNIOR STAR grants are targeted at excellent early-career scientists within eight years of completing their PhD who have already published in prestigious international journals and have significant international experience. Thanks to a five-year project with a maximum budget of up to CZK 25 million (approx. €1 million), they have the opportunity to become scientifically independent and even establish their own research group, which can become a source of new research topics coming to Czech science. In 2026, eighteen early-career scientists will begin working on the project. Over the next five years, over CZK 425 million will be allocated to these projects.

International Projects

GACR currently cooperates with 12 grant providers from around the world. The results of tenders and calls announced jointly in cooperation with a partner agency in another country will be announced gradually after their approval with the agency involved.

 

The decision to fund the above-mentioned projects is subject to the condition that the Czech Republic’s state budget for 2026 allocates specific funds to GACR in the amount approved by the Research, Development and Innovation Council and the Czech government. The funds will be allocated to the above-mentioned researchers only after the state budget law comes into effect.

Chiral Magnons Leave a Measurable X-ray Fingerprint in Altermagnet

Researchers show that circularly polarized resonant inelastic X-ray scattering can read the handedness of magnons in an altermagnet, providing a practical way to probe altermagnetic properties. The chiral behavior leaves a measurable, reversible, symmetry-tied contrast in the measured spectrum—an accessible fingerprint of magnon chirality. The research was funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GACR).

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers report that magnons – the quanta of spin waves and the fundamental collective excitations of magnetic order – can exhibit “handedness,” or chirality, which leaves a distinct, reversible signature in the resonant inelastic X-ray spectrum of an altermagnet. While this is commonly observed when studying ferromagnetic materials (the ones found in fridge magnets, electric motors and wind turbines), for antiferromagnetic materials such signatures typically cancel. Recently, a new category of materials was identified, called altermagnets, that also shares aspects found in ferromagnetic materials and so opens new possibilities.

The Method

The team used a state-of-the-art measurement technique called resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), comparing the response for right- and left-handed circularly polarized light while rotating the crystal. They observed a measurable circular dichroism, a difference in response, at the magnon feature that flips sign at opposite crystal momenta and follows a three-fold angular pattern as dictated by symmetry, together forming a robust fingerprint of chiral magnons in an altermagnet. The circular dichroism produces a significant intensity difference in the scattered signal. The sign and angular dependence of this difference reveal the handedness of the spin waves. “We have detected a clean fingerprint of chiral magnons. That makes magnon chirality an experimentally accessible probe to detect altermagnetic properties with a straightforward protocol,” said Petr Čermák of Charles University, who led the study.

Background of the Research

The path of this research has not always been straightforward. The researchers jumped into altermagnets as soon as they were proposed in 2022. “As a researcher specializing in neutron scattering, my first instinct was to study the magnon energy splitting using neutrons, as they are very sensitive to magnetic properties,” added the first author of the study, Nikolaos Biniskos. That path turned out to be difficult, and the first splitting was later detected in MnTe by a Japanese team (Physical Review Letters 133, 156702 (2024)).

CrSb, the compound studied here, became an especially attractive candidate: it is metallic, was among the first altermagnets identified, and maintains its magnetic order at room temperature. But that also means its magnon energy dispersion is very steep “making neutrons unlikely to detect the required features, as these measurements cannot be easily carried out at high energies,” explained Biniskos. In order to overcome these experimental challenges, he and his colleagues drafted a proposal for X-ray measurements at the Diamond Light Source.

They originally aimed to resolve the energy splitting. The experiment turned out to be straightforward to run – at room temperature, with no cryostat or magnetic field – on the I21 RIXS beamline, which offers both high energy and high spatial resolutions. A convenient surprise also helped. The magnetic domains in CrSb are large enough so the X-ray beam could move between them. To prove this, graduate student David Sviták invested hours scanning the sample to locate neighboring domains with opposite handedness, for which the dichroic signal reversed accordingly.

The Findings

The scientists conclude that the circular dichroism of the magnon peak reverses with the orientation of the Néel vector, which characterizes the magnetic ordering inside the material. Its characteristic angular dependence follows the theoretical predictions for chirality and energy splitting. Biniskos adds that “it’s a practical readout even when the two magnon branches are not individually resolved.”

Theoretical support came in parallel: Manuel dos Santos Dias performed the theoretical analysis at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory. Modelling shows that even if the two magnon modes blur together, their chirality still leaves a clearly observable fingerprint. The three-fold angular pattern follows the crystal symmetry. While MnTe allowed direct resolution of the magnon energy splitting, circularly polarized RIXS can instead distinguish nearly degenerate branches via opposite dichroic contrast, making them detectable even when the energy splitting is too small to resolve.

Only a handful of beamlines worldwide are capable of performing this type of measurement; in Europe, this capability is presently available at Diamond’s I21 beamline. The authors say the approach should be portable to other altermagnets and could help chart when and how chirality emerges in their spin-wave spectra. “It’s a simple protocol that other labs can adopt. A symmetry-aware magnon fingerprint complements electronic studies and opens a route to exploring chiral magnons across materials,” concludes Petr Čermák.

18 Outstanding Early-Career Scientists Awarded the Prestigious GACR JUNIOR STAR grants

Starting next year, the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) will fund 18 new JUNIOR STAR projects with more than CZK 425 million (approx. €17.5 mil.) The aim of this highly selective tender is to enhance Czech science with new research topics, and enable promising early-career researchers to become scientifically independent.

“Early-career researchers are key to the development of science. Not only do they represent the future of research, but they are often the ones who come up with fresh, new ideas,” says GACR President Prof. Milan Jirsa. We are delighted to see such great interest in the JUNIOR STAR tender, but I am even more pleased that, as a result, excellent scientists are staying in the Czech Republic or coming to us from abroad.

Five-year projects from all areas of basic research will focus, for example, on the development of algorithms, new materials, plastic recycling, and the study of protein interactions in the fight against cancer. Other projects focus on corruption and social norms in business, religion in ancient Rome, and the development of intelligent robots.

The GACR President’s Award Given to the 100th Winner This Year

The President of the Czech Science Foundation (GACR), Professor Milan Jirsa, has awarded the five best scientific projects this evening at the Liechtenstein Palace of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. The award-winning basic research contributed to a significant deepening of knowledge in the given disciplines and paved the way for their further practical application. This year’s five laureates bring the total number of scientists who have received the award since 2003 to 100.

In the award-winning projects, scientists discovered, for example, how cells communicate with each other in autoimmune diseases, which opens up possibilities for their treatment. They studied the processes of permafrost thawing and freezing and their impact on the climate. They reconstructed the lost work of the ancient physician and philosopher Galen. They analysed complex mathematical models for use in real life and immediately applied them to innovations in agricultural technology. They also showed the impact of climate change on life in deserts.

“The selection of projects was extremely difficult again this year, as a substantial number of outstanding projects were nominated. This is further proof that the quality of Czech research is constantly improving and reaching world-class levels in many areas. The significant application overlap of this year’s award-winning projects is also important – some of the findings have already been put into practice during the research,” says Professor Milan Jirsa, GACR President.

The GACR President’s Award has been presented annually since 2003 in recognition of exceptional results achieved in grant projects completed in the previous year. The winners are selected on the recommendation of several hundred scientists who evaluate projects funded by the GACR. The awards are presented in five areas of basic research: Technical Sciences; Physical Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Social Sciences and Humanities; and Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences. This year’s five award winners bring the total number of laureates to 100.

The GACR President’s Award ceremony included attendees from the Minister of Science, Research and Innovation, the Ministry of Education, the Council for Research, Development and Innovation, several universities, the Czech Academy of Sciences, and dozens of other distinguished guests.

Award-winning projects

Technical Sciences

Prof. Ing. Jiří Mikyška, Ph.D., Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague

Scientists have discovered what happens in thawing permafrost (project: Multiphase flow, transport and soil structure changes related to the freezing and thawing of water in subsurface layers)

Global climate change is increasingly affecting even remote areas covered by permafrost. Once completely frozen territories are now thawing and releasing a number of chemicals. These processes significantly affect the Earth’s atmosphere and living conditions on Earth. The research has produced new mathematical models and numerical simulations for predicting the behaviour of complex systems of freezing and melting water in rocks.

Physical Sciences

RNDr. Šárka Nečasová, CSc., DSc., Institute of Mathematics, Czech Academy of Sciences

Mathematical models help in biomedicine, meteorology and when working with heavy machinery (project: Mathematical theory and numerical analysis of equations of viscous Newtonian compressible fluids)

This award-winning project has significantly advanced mathematical solutions for models that describe complex physical phenomena. In real-world applications, these include air flow and fluid motion, such as the life-giving blood in our veins. The findings from the award-winning project have already been put into practice. Scientists are collaborating with companies such as Bobcat to optimise the functioning of heavy machinery.

Medical and Biological sciences

Mgr. Peter Dráber, Ph.D., First Faculty of Medicine, BIOCEV, Charles University

Modulating inflammatory communication between cells to suppress autoimmune diseases (project: The role of CMTM4 protein in signalling via the IL17 receptor)

The research team focused on finding new approaches to specifically suppress the harmful immune response in autoimmune diseases without disrupting the body’s natural defences. In this project, the scientists studied in detail the activation of an important pro-inflammatory receptor that recognises the inflammatory protein IL-17. The scientists discovered a previously unknown but, from the point of view of human immunity, a very important component of this receptor – the little-studied protein CMTM4.

Social Sciences and Humanities

Matyáš Havrda, Ph.D., DSc., Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences

Galen and the emergence of the scientific method: Reconstruction of a lost work (project: Aristotelian proof in the theory and practice of Galen’s medical science)

For centuries, Galen’s writings formed the basis of university education and contributed to the emergence of medicine as a scientific discipline. Scientists focused on reconstructing his lost treatise On Proof. From Greek and Arabic sources, they collected all available evidence about this important work, including previously unpublished texts, and presented a complete reconstruction of its content. In doing so, they expanded our knowledge of the history of science and the scientific method.

Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences

Ing. et Mgr. Jiří Šmíd, Ph.D., Faculty of Science, Charles University

When the desert turns green: reptiles as witnesses to climate change (project: Genomic corridors in extreme conditions: historical and current population dynamics of desert reptiles)

Global climate change has not spared deserts throughout history. During the Quaternary climate fluctuations, for example, many of them turned into green oases. The project revealed the development of desert biodiversity over a longer period of time and helped understand the demographic history of individual reptile species. It also mapped the movements of their populations in response to changing environmental conditions.

Czech and Israeli Scientists to Work on Projects Together

ISF Academic Board Chair Prof. Daniel Zajfman (left) and GACR President Prof. Milan Jirsa (right)

Yesterday in Prague, the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Israel Science Foundation (ISF). This agreement will enable Czech and Israeli scientists to submit joint proposals for basic research projects starting next year.

“Israel has long been one of the countries to invest most heavily in research and development, with one of the highest ratios of research spending to GDP in the world. As a result, Israeli science is characterized by global excellence and an extraordinary ability to apply the results of basic research in practice. I believe that Czech scientists will take full advantage of this opportunity for cooperation and that both parties will benefit from it,” said GACR President Prof. Milan Jirsa.

The first joint call for proposals will be launched next year. Funding is expected for several dozen of the highest-ranked proposals, which will be carried out over a period of three years.

Both science foundations will participate in funding the joint projects – GACR will finance the Czech part of each project, and ISF will finance the Israeli part. The projects will first undergo a rigorous scientific evaluation by one of the institutions. Both foundations use comparably robust evaluation systems, which allows them to share evaluation results and ensures the high quality of the projects funded.

The Memorandum was signed yesterday at the GACR headquarters by GACR President Prof. Milan Jirsa, ISF Academic Board Chair Prof. Daniel Zajfman, ISF Director-General Dr. Tamar Jaffe-Mittwoch, in presence of Israeli Ambassador Anna Azari.

Tenders Announced for 2026 Projects

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) announces calls for project proposals for STANDARD PROJECTS, JUNIOR STAR, POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP, INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS, and a new scheme, the RESTART GRANTS addressing scientists returning to work after a career break.

“The RESTART GRANTS are the biggest news this year. They will help scientists to return to science after a career break, such as a maternity leave, and to lead their own research projects,” says GACR President, Prof. Milan Jirsa. “We believe we can support equality in research and increase the number of female scientists in the Czech Republic, where they are the most underrepresented in Europe.”

Project proposals for projects to be launched in 2026 may be submitted until 3 April 2025. The results of the tenders will be published in late October and late November this year. The results of international tenders and calls will be announced later, depending on our arrangements with the agencies in other countries.

Project proposals will undergo review in a multi-stage transparent evaluation process involving both experts from Czech research institutions and those from abroad. Not a single project gets funded without being reviewed by experts abroad. And the highly selective  JUNIOR STAR and EXPRO schemes, expected to be announced next year, involve only experts from other countries in the evaluation process.

 

Standards Projects

Standard projects are the backbone of targeted aid for basic research in the Czech Republic, with GACR having financed hundreds of them each year since its founding in 1993. Through these projects, the best basic research in all areas is supported. Standard projects are usually worked on for three years and their proposals may be submitted by all researchers and their teams without limits on the length of their scientific careers. Project proposals are evaluated on the basis of a multi-level selection process.

 

JUNIOR STAR

The JUNIOR STAR tender is almost always met with great interest by applicants from the ranks of excellent scientists in basic research who are at the beginning of their career (up to 8 years after being awarded their Ph.D. titles) who have had their work published in prestigious international journals and have significant foreign experience. The goal of these five-year projects with a budget of up to 25 million CZK is to give the applicants a chance to gain scientific independence, including potentially founding their own research group to bring new topics into Czech science. Similarly to EXPRO projects, the review of JUNIOR STAR project proposals is carried out solely by external reviewers.

 

POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

For the third time, GACR is announcing the POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP (PIF) tender this year. This type of grant is aimed at scientists who have finished their doctoral studies in the past four years. It can take two forms – either allowing a Czech scientist to carry out two years of research at a prestigious research centre abroad (with the condition of spending a third year at a research centre in the Czech Republic) or allowing a Czech postdoc or foreign scientist to come carry out research and begin their career at a Czech research centre.

 

Restart grantsAnnounced this year, the RESTART GRANTS are the most recent grant scheme. They will allow excellent scientists to restart their careers after a break due to parental leave or dependent care. RESTART GRANTS address scientists from Czech institutions who have completed their Ph.D.’s in the last ten years (or earlier if they had a career break). Project proposals may be submitted up to two years after the end of a career break related to childcare or dependent care that lasted at least one year. The schedule of the funding will be two to four years, depending on the workload chosen by the scientist.

 

International Projects

Projects worked on by scientists and their teams in cooperation with researchers from partner states are a separate category of grants. Project proposals are either evaluated by both agencies (bilateral cooperation), or they are recommended for funding by one agency and the other adopts its recommendations (Lead Agency cooperation).

Bilateral-cooperation

Lead Agency

Further international calls based on Lead Agency cooperation may be launched during the year.

Mathematics reveals hidden network patterns

Mathematics is often perceived as an impersonal and detached science full of formulas and numbers. Samuel Braunfeld from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University, a JUNIOR STAR project investigator, sees mathematics differently. He sees it as a fascinating world where language and logic intersect to reveal complex structures that affect our everyday lives. His research combines abstract model theory with the practical study of complex networks such as computer systems, social networks or biological structures. The results of his work can provide not only new theoretical insights but also practical solutions for data management and information processing.

Samuel Braunfeld’s path to the study of mathematics was complicated. At one time, he even considered studying literature. Eventually, however, he became fascinated by mathematics, which he saw as a never-ending intellectual challenge. In particular, his curiosity was aroused by model theory. “Model theory is captivating because it focuses on language and interpretation,” says the researcher. “It’s like being part of a joke where you keep interpreting the language differently than you intended, and at the end you get to a proof that surprises you.” It is this combination of clear logical structure and creative thinking that forms the backbone of his current research.

Model theory as a key to decoding networks

In his JUNIOR STAR project, he explores how model theory could be applied to different types of networks. These are found all around us – from the web of interpersonal relationships, to complex computer systems, to biological processes in our bodies.

Although at first glance these networks may seem very different, his hypothesis is simple: each network can be classified into one of two categories. Either it is so structured that it can be divided into simpler parts that communicate easily, or it is so complex that no simplistic analysis is appropriate. “There is no middle ground – either the network breaks down into clear components or it is so complex that we have to treat it as a whole,” says Braunfeld.

Efficient representation of networks

If the hypothesis is confirmed, the research could make a significant contribution to understanding how and when networks can be efficiently operated and stored with minimal demands on capacity and time. The results of the project will not only deepen understanding of the relationship between seemingly distant disciplines – model theory and combinatorics – but may also influence other fields.

A key goal of the project is to determine when networks are simple enough for further processing. “The research will provide crucial insights into the environments in which specific programming techniques can work effectively,” explains Dr. Braunfeld. These insights are important for the development of computer science and the management of big data systems.

New team works with experts from Europe and the USA

His research also has an international overlap. Dr. Braunfeld works with experts from Europe and the USA. His experience from different research environments helps him not only in his scientific work on the project, but also in leading his own team, which he has assembled thanks to the support of GACR. “Leading a team is a new challenge for me, but also an opportunity to support young researchers and help them develop their own ideas,” he adds with enthusiasm.

JUNIOR STAR grants are intended for excellent early career scientists who have received their Ph.D. less than 8 years ago and who have already published in prestigious international journals and have significant international experience. With five-year funding of up to 25 million CZK, JUNIOR STAR grants allow for scientific independence and the eventual establishment of their own research group. Only a fraction of submitted projects will be supported. For 2024, only 17 out of 175 project proposals were supported.
