Special Funding for Strategically Important 4EU+ Projects

Charles University may award special support, outside the standard project schemes, to strategically significant projects that strengthen long-term cooperation within the 4EU+ Alliance and demonstrate substantial innovation potential within the academic environment or on a global scale.

This support is intended for large-scale projects that enhance alliance-wide collaboration in the areas of research, education, or societal impact.

A proposal for special support may be submitted by:

• a member of the Rector’s Board responsible for 4EU+ matters,

• a faculty Vice-Dean responsible for 4EU+ affairs, or

• the university’s representative in one of the 4EU+ Alliance Flagships.

Proposals may be submitted outside regular calls. They must be submitted using the form (see below) and sent via email to 4euplus@cuni.cz. The decision on awarding support is made by the Rector of Charles University.

The maximum amount of funding available is CZK 1,000,000. Project implementation follows the same rules as for 4EU+ Synergy projects.

The principal investigator of a strategically significant project must be an academic staff member of Charles University with a minimum employment of 0.5 FTE.

Each project must align with the 4EU+ Strategy 2025–2035 and correspond to one of the four selected thematic areas (Flagships) of the 4EU+ Alliance:

1. Urban Health and Demographic Change

2. Europeanness: Multilingualism, Pluralities, Citizenship

3. Digitisation – Modelling – Transformation

4. Environmental Transitions

   
   

   or must focus on issues related to the European higher education sector and the development of an alliance ecosystem within the European Education Area.
