Charles University provides a comprehensive system of support for science and research. It combines elements that have been progressively built since the 1990s with new programs to promote excellent science to include all phases of scientific work. The system consists of several complementary university programs. One of these programs is the Primus competition.
Primus is a programme with aim to encourage young researchers with international experience to establish new research groups and laboratories. Selected young scientists will be enabled to run their own independent projects during a period of 3-5 years. One of the long-term goals of the research programme is to increase the success rate of the University in attracting major international grants (e.g., European Research Council – ERC grants).
The accepted projects are three-year (before the end of the third year of the solution they can apply for an extension for another max. two years) and they can apply for a maximum of CZK 3 million / year. In case the applicant submits an excellent project from a foreign institution, where he/she has spent the minimum of two most recent calendar years, the evaluation panel may recommend a higher financial institutional support (on condition that the faculty/research institute in question would make a commitment to support the project financially at the same or higher amount).
