The deadline for submitting applications to the CHARLESTON postdoctoral programme (Horizon Europe MSCA COFUND) is fast approaching – the proposals must be submitted by Friday, 31 May 2025 at 14:00 (2 PM) CEST.

We kindly encourage all applicants not to wait until the last moment to submit their application via the IS Věda portal. Please keep in mind that the submission process includes several essential steps that take time:

• Your internal supervisor must confirm their supervision directly in the IS Věda portal before the application is submitted.

• You must upload a Letter of Commitment signed by your chosen non-academic institution hosting your secondment. The document is a mandatory part of the application.

To avoid last-minute stress or technical issues, we strongly recommend completing your submission well in advance of the deadline.

For full details on the application process and requirements, please visit the Application section on our CHARLESTON programme website, where you can find the Guide for Applicants as well as all the templates needed for your proposal.
