Discipline Committees

Discipline Committees (DC) are permanent professional advisory bodies of the GACR Presidium. Their main responsibility is evaluation of project proposals as well as evaluation of ongoing and completed funded projects.

Each committee is composed of Chair and Vice-Chair of individual Panels and consists of 10 to 20 expert members. . The Chair and Vice-Chair of the DC is appointed by the GACR Presidium for a two-year term with the possibility of two consecutive terms at maximum.

Discipline Committees are set up for five following scientific fields:

1. Technical Sciences
2. Physical Sciences
3. Medical and Biological Sciences
4. Social Sciences and Humanities
5. Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences
