CZU announces the second round only in Frascati Manual classification field Engineering and Technology (Frascati Manual– the OECD structure of fields here) and only for 12 months grants.
Grants under the UGS competition may be awarded only to students enrolled in a DSP at CZU. Applicants/researchers must be registered as DSP students throughout the period of execution of the Student Grant.
One student may work as a researcher in only one grant awarded in the competition. Researcher of UGC grant from 1st round may not be a researcher of UGC grant from 2nd round.
Themes of Student Grants must not be identical with themes of dissertations of all researchers of the given project.
An application for a Student Grant must specify precisely work capacities of involvement of the individual members of the research team, expressed in the extent of the individual workloads, and corroborate the researchers’ and mentor’s hitherto experience with the problem solved (e.g. in a form of signed CVs or Letters of Intent). Limit of total workload is 1,2.
The mandatory work capacity of the principal researcher of a Student Grant is 0.5 workload.
The work capacity of other researchers must fall within the range of 0.1-0.5 workload per person.
The maximum number of all researchers in one UGC grant is 5 (one main researcher and max. 4 other researchers) DSP students.
An application for a Student Grant must provide a summary of each researcher’s educational objectives (each researcher must complete an educational activity choosing from the offer of the project “Improvement in Quality of the Internal Grant Scheme at CZU” in the minimum length of 24 hours), the fulfilment of which will be evaluated in the Final Report submitted for the given Student Grant.
All researchers with work capacity equalling 0.3 workload and higher must complete at least one educational/research activity abroad during the period of the Student Grant (e.g. internship, summer school, research stay, active participation in conferences).
The period of a Student Grant is 12 months.
The applicant will not draw funds from other EU financial instruments, National programmes and other grant programmes for eligible costs in the submitted grant, which are to be funded from this call. At the same time, co-funging from dedicated support for specific university research (e.g. IGA) cannot be used in solving this Student Grant.
An application for a Student Grant, including all annexes thereto, must be prepared and submitted in English.
