On February 9, 2026, the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (GA ČR) announced calls for project proposals for standard and international projects, POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP, and Return Grants. Project proposals can be submitted until March 31, 2026. The EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR competitions will be announced in early March due to the transition to a new information system.
We previously reported on the GA ČR competitions and calls for proposals that are in the pipeline and what the new rules will be in the article HERE.
Within the framework of all competitions and calls announced by GA ČR (or GA ČR and foreign agencies), it will now be possible to submit a maximum of three project proposals (as a proposer or co-proposer), with a maximum of one project proposal in each of the categories listed. The results of the competitions will be announced on November 26, 2026. For international competitions and calls, the results will be announced later, depending on the agreement with the foreign agency.
NOTICE OF CONCURRENT PROJECT PROPOSALS STARTING IN 2027
1. In all GA ČR competitions and calls, it will now be possible to submit a maximum of three project proposals (as a proposer or co-proposer), with a maximum of one in each category.
