The first day offers a unique opportunity to hear the experience of all 6 Czech coordinators of research projects supported under the H2020 program from universities and institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and get information and tips for participating in Horizon Europe (HE). The afternoon block will present the issue of Open Science in the HE program.

The next few days will be focused on the Horizon Europe program - on Wednesday, renowned expert Sean McCarthy will tell us how to write a competitive proposal for the program's challenges, and on Thursday we will focus on prestigious individual grants - ERC and MSCA. Friday's block focuses on the possibilities of national financing of international cooperation - the currently announced program cooperation of the GA CR with the American National Science Foundation (NSF) and the cofund challenges of the TA CR.
