About the Presidium of the Czech Science Foundation

The Presidium of GACR is appointed by the government of the Czech Republic upon the nomination of the Council for Research, Development and Innovation. It is composed of five members representing five basic scientific disciplines – Technical Sciences (prof. Ing. Martin Hartl, Ph.D.), Life Sciences (Assoc. Prof. Hana Čížková, Ph.D.), Medical and Biological Sciences (prof. MUDr. Mgr. Milan Jirsa, CSc.), Social Sciences and Humanities (assoc. prof. PhDr. Martina Hřebíčková, DSc.), and Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences (assoc. prof. RNDr. Petr Baldrian, Ph.D. – President of the Czech Science Foundation). The term in office of the members of the Presidium is four years, and a maximum of two consecutive terms is possible. GACR President is the governing body of the Czech Science Foundation.

The Presidium approves the publication of public tenders in research and development, and decides on the execution of contracts for the provision of funding, i.e. on the award of grants to scientific projects on the basis of the evaluation of the discipline committees and panels of the Czech Science Foundation. The Presidium also coordinates the activities of these advisory bodies, and appoints and removes their members.

GACR to Fund New Scientific Projects Worth €186 Million Starting January 2025

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR), the leading Czech provider of basic research grants, will fund 474 new scientific projects starting in January 2025. More projects involving international scientists will be announced over time.

“We are delighted that from next year on, we will be able to fund more new scientific ideas than this year,” said GACR President Prof. Petr Baldrian. “We hope that the increase in the budget, and therefore the increase in the number of projects funded, will continue in the coming years to harvest the potential of Czech science. The potential for excellent projects in Czech science is much higher  not only in our opinion but also in the opinion of our advisory bodies.”

All project proposals undergo a two-phase evaluation, carried out exclusively by leading Czech and international scientists. More than 500 of them serve on expert panels and discipline committees, and thousands of external researchers from other countries prepare reviews in the second phase of evaluation.

GACR tailors grant schemes to scientists at different stages of their careers. The POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP grants are designed for early-career researchers to gain international experience. The second grant scheme is the JUNIOR STAR, which allows scientists to achieve scientific independence from their current team or supervisor. “Next year, we plan to launch a Restart Grants scheme. These will be especially designed for parents with young children who are returning to scientific work after a career break,” adds Prof. Petr Baldrian.

The highly selective EXPRO grants are designed to fund higher-risk research by seasoned scientists with a high potential for scientific breakthroughs. They also aim to enhance the success rate of Czech projects in prestigious European Research Council (ERC) calls. The most-widely used grant scheme, Standard Projects, covers the full scope of basic research. Czech science draws a high value from the funding of International Projects, which allow Czech scientists to conduct research together with teams from abroad.

Standard Projects

Standard Projects are the basis of grant funding for basic research in the Czech Republic. Starting in 2025, GACR will fund 410 new Standard Projects worth CZK 3.4 billion. All researchers and their teams, regardless of age and experience, may submit proposals for projects of up to three years. This type of project scheme has been funded since 1993.

POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

The POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP (PIF) grant scheme is announced in OUTGOING and INCOMING sub-schemes. The first option allows early-career scientists to undertake a two-year fellowship abroad where they gain valuable experience at an early stage of their career. In the third year, they will capitalize on this experience at a Czech institution. The second grant sub-scheme (PIF INCOMING) allows foreign researchers to work at a scientific institution in the Czech Republic. This grant scheme is also used to facilitate the return of young Czech scientists from abroad. A total of 30 early-careers researchers who completed their PhD studies no more than four years ago have been awarded these three-year grants to kick off projects in January.

EXPRO

The aim of EXPRO grants is to facilitate the development of excellent research, to set standards for excellent science, and to help overcome barriers that reduce the success rates of project proposals to the highly prestigious European ERC grant tenders. The EXPRO grant scheme is only open in even-numbered years. A total of 15 new projects will be funded from 2025 onwards, drawing on a budget of nearly CZK 712 million.

JUNIOR STAR

JUNIOR STAR grants are targeted at excellent early-career scientists who completed their PhD studies no more than 8 years ago and who have already published in prestigious international journals and have significant international experience. Thanks to the five-year project with a budget of up to CZK 25 million, they will have the opportunity to become scientifically independent and possibly start their own research group, which can introduce new research topics to Czech science. In 2025, a total of 19 early-career scientists will start working on these projects. Over CZK 443 million has been allocated to these projects over the next 5 years.

International Projects

GACR currently collaborates with 11 agencies from around the world, including the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), German Research Foundation (DFG), and more. The results of these tenders and calls will be announced after approval by the cooperating agency.

Training: Using the Data Stewardship Wizard for your scientific data management

For projects funded by the Czech Science Foundation from this year onwards, new rules on scientific data management apply – investigators submit their Data Management Plans latest along with the first Interim Project Report. One of the ways to create this plan is the Data Stewardship Wizard open-source platform. The Czech Science Foundation has prepared a training course in cooperation with this platform.

“Thinking about research data and how to deal with it is an important part of research. We believe that the development of a research data management plan will lead to greater transparency, prevent data loss and also allow data to be re-used by other researchers. This will increase the effectiveness of the funding we provide, ” said GACR President Prof. Petr Baldrian.

Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) training

The training will be introduced by GACR President, Prof. Petr Baldrian, who will explain GACR’s approach to scientific data management. Next, Jana Martínková from DSW will take over with practical demonstrations of how to use this tool from the perspective of scientists.

An alternative option for creating a scientific Data Management Plan is, for example, to complete a template.

Restart Grants to Offer a Restart for Scientific Careers

At its 6 November session, the Government of the Czech Republic approved a new type of funding prepared by the Czech Science Foundation (GACR). Restart Grants will allow female and male scientists to restart their careers after a break for parental leave or caring for a dependent person. The tender will be announced along with the other GACR tenders early next year.

“In the Czech environment, returning to an active career after parental leave is, in many respects, more challenging than in several other countries. Therefore, we decided to develop grants that will facilitate this return for outstanding scientists, female and male,” stated GACR President Professor Petr Baldrian. “This unique form of funding is offered by GACR as the only grant agency in Europe.”

Restart Grants present another option for GACR to promote work-life balance in science, advance gender equality, and harness the potential of Czech female and male scientists. GACR intends to announce the tender in February next year, with annual funding anticipated for approximately 25 new projects. For subsequent years, GACR budget earmarks approx. CZK 50 million annually for Restart Grants.

Restart Grants are designed to address female and male scientists affiliated with Czech institutions who have completed their doctoral studies within the past ten years (this period is extended by the duration of career breaks). Project proposals will be accepted within two years following the end of a career break related to the care of a child or another dependent person, lasting from one to five years. The duration of funding will depend on the selected workload, and can range from two to four years. Principal investigators may also include students and technical staff in their projects.

EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR: New Excellent Projects

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) will fund 15 EXPRO projects and 19 JUNIOR STAR projects starting next year. The aim of these tenders is to provide exceptional conditions for excellent scientists who have been carefully selected by experts from other countries. JUNIOR STAR grants will help early-career scientists establish their own research teams, while EXPRO will enable experienced scientists to undertake riskier projects with the potential to achieve groundbreaking discoveries.

“The EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR tenders are flagship initiatives of the Czech Science Foundation. Succeeding in them is greatly difficult, but if a scientist manages to do so, they obtain a unique opportunity to implement their ideas and, in the case of early-career scientists, to achieve scientific independence. They will have five years to complete the project, and in the case of JUNIOR STAR, up to CZK 25 million, while for EXPRO the amount is double,” says GACR President, Professor Petr Baldrian.

EXPRO

The aim of EXPRO grants is to create conditions for the development of excellent research, set standards for excellent science, and help overcome barriers that reduce the success of project proposals in the highly prestigious ERC grant scheme. One of the obligations for project leaders is to apply for an ERC grant. The costs for EXPRO projects, which are primarily aimed at experienced scientists, can reach up to CZK 50 million for five years. The EXPRO grant will now only be announced in even years.

„The work of the panel members is crucial for the Czech Science Foundation, much the same as it is for science foundations in other countries. Through panel reviews and discussions, expert scientists evaluate the quality of project proposals submitted to our tenders, and recommend those that deserve funding. It is thanks to our well-established system of expert evaluation of projects, inspired by the ERC evaluation, that the Czech Science Foundation preserves its credibility and the high standard of the projects funded,“ says prof. Petr Baldrian, GACR President.

Starting next year, the Czech Science Foundation will operate 38 evaluation panels grouped into 5 Discipline Committees based on 5 fields of science. In total, there are over 400 experts in their respective fields, who evaluate proposals for basic research projects in the Standard Projects, POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP, and International Projects tenders each year. Both individual scientists and their institutions can submit nominations to the Czech Science Foundation panels by filling in the online form below. The panels are mostly composed of Czech and international experts from Czech scientific institutions.

Please note the changes in panels for tenders published in 2025.

The best scientists received the Czech Science Foundation President’s Award

The President of the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) Petr Baldrian awarded the five best scientific projects this evening at the Strahov Monastery. The awarded basic research has significantly contributed to the deepening of knowledge in the given disciplines and opened the way to further practical application.

The winning projects and their results have contributed to the discovery of new alloys with unique properties, increased our ability to divert the orbits of potentially dangerous asteroids threatening the Earth, opened new pathways for cancer treatment research, but also focused on the link between poverty and ethical decision-making or plant chemistry strategies.

“Selecting five award-winning projects from dozens of top projects was very challenging this year: just like in the years before, there were many results that were reflected in the most prestigious scientific media. The selected projects benefit from prestigious international collaboration and also have the potential to extend into applied research. With their results, the project investigators show that it is possible to do world-class science in the Czech Republic and are an inspiration for future generations,” said the President of the Czech Science Foundation, Prof. Petr Baldrian.

The Czech Science Foundation President’s Award has been regularly awarded since 2003 in recognition of outstanding results achieved in grant projects completed in the previous year. Recipients are selected on the recommendation of several hundred scientists who evaluate projects funded by the Czech Science Foundation. 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, for the first time, the laureates received a trophy depicting the foundation’s motif along with their award. The trophy was created from recycled glass and 3D printing by designers from Plastenco design in cooperation with the Czech Science Foundation. “The design and production of a unique trophy linked to science and basic research is a highly prestigious matter for us. The dominant part is made up of circles inspired by the logo of the Czech Science Foundation, rendered in the colour of bronze. We have applied a small element of playfulness: the circles can be moved, taken out, bent and inserted according to one’s own imagination,” says Kateřina Sýsová, co-founder of the company.

The award ceremony was attended by representatives of the Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, the Ministry of Education, the Research, Development and Innovation Council, universities, the Czech Academy of Sciences and dozens of other distinguished guests.

Award-Winning Projects

Technical Sciences

Prof. Ing. Hanuš Seiner, Ph.D., DSc., Institute of Thermomechanics of the CAS

Laser and ultrasound to revolutionize materials engineering: Revealing hidden structures in alloys for new technologies (project: Advanced laser-ultrasonic characterization of structural transitions in metals – analysis beyond the homogeneity assumption)

Scientists have designed laser-ultrasonic methods to characterize newly developed generations of alloys, which often have complex microstructures and unusual elastic properties. These materials have a wide range of applications, for example in optical devices or joint implants. The project has also contributed to the discovery of several new alloys with unique properties.

Physical Sciences

Mgr. Petr Pravec, Dr., Astronomical Institute of the CAS

Asteroids on a collision course: How space probes and new discoveries help protect Earth from collision  

project: Physical and dynamical properties of space mission target asteroids, and their evolutionary paths

Scientists have analyzed the physical properties and parameters of asteroids based on changes in their luminous flux. This has been crucial for space missions to these objects and the subsequent interpretation of the obtained data. They were also involved in the US DART mission, which tested technology to deflect potentially dangerous asteroids by impacting the asteroid Dimorphos.

An important enzyme in the fight against cancer: How CDK11 opens up new possibilities for cancer treatment

project: Characterization of kinase activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11), an essential enzyme for the growth of cancer

Enzymes from the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family control important functions in the cell. CDK-blocking substances are important in cancer research and treatment. Scientists have discovered that the overlooked enzyme CDK11 plays a key role in RNA editing. The substance OTS964, which has anti-cancer activity and blocks CDK11, prevents RNA editing in the cell. The research has revealed a new mechanism of RNA editing in the cell, providing new opportunities for cancer treatment research.

Social Sciences and Humanities

Doc. PhDr. Julie Chytilová, Ph.D., Economics Institute of the CAS

Poverty and behavior: How financial distress affects ethics and decision-making

project: Determinants of Pro-Social and Anti-Social Behavior: Field Experimental Evidence

Research among Ugandan farmers shows that poverty and financial distress lead to impatient behavior – people prefer immediate consumption and do not want to wait for longer-term results. This can worsen their future situation and keep them in a ‘vicious cycle of poverty’. Financial distress also increases the risk of unethical behavior. Research findings suggest that even short-term assistance can improve the decision-making and economic situation of the poor in the long term.

Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences

How insect invaders shape the chemical defences of plants: Secrets of the diverse chemical makeup of willows

project: Why is there such high diversity of chemical defences: role of insect herbivory in promoting chemical diversity in willows

Plants produce hundreds of thousands of chemicals. They are able to tailor their production to survive in different environments. In harsh climates, they produce high concentrations of a narrow range of substances, while when insects attack, they produce a large number of chemicals, including those that attract the predators of the insects in question. Research has revealed how the chemical strategies of plants evolve and how the vast amounts of substances they produce are created.
