Within the framework of the Weave initiative, the Polish National Science Centre (NCN) and the GACR have announced a joint call for projects to be evaluated under the "LA" (Lead agency) principle with an expected start date of 2026.

Project proposals submitted to this call will count towards the maximum number of project proposals submitted to calls with an expected start date in 2026, i.e. project proposals submitted to this call will count towards the maximum number of proposals for calls launched in February 2025.

The Czech part of the proposal will be filled in the form in the GRIS application. A copy of the project proposal submitted to the foreign agency is a mandatory attachment to the Czech part of the proposal. The Czech part of the proposal will be sent by data mail.

Inconsistencies in the information on the Czech and Polish sides in the number of team members and their assignments (including the required salaries) or other information may lead to the NCN rejecting the project for formal reasons.

The Central Library offers assistance in ensuring that the principles of open science are met and in following the preparation of a data management plan (DMP). If interested, please contact openscience@phil.muni.cz. Please do so before setting personal costs when preparing project proposals due to the potential inclusion of a data curator/steward position on the project team.
