Expert group
The Expert Group for supporting applicants in ERC calls was established in January 2021 based on the Joint Declaration of Charles University and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. It is composed of experts in individual scientific fields of the ERC and, in cooperation with the Technology Center Prague (TC Prague), systematically supports applicants for ERC grants at the national level.
Every year, they jointly plan several information and training events, the aim of which is not only the support of Czech researchers and the preparation and improvement of ERC project proposals, but also the support of research organizations in increasing the success rate of their applicants in competitions for ERC grants.
