The results of the Weave-UNISONO call for proposals submitted to Grantová Agentura České Republiky (GAČR) as the lead agency are now published. 10 research teams from Poland will soon be able to start their research projects. They will receive almost 10 million PLN from the National Science Centre for their research projects involving partners from the Czech Republic. The ranking lists of projects recommended for funding include five projects in Physical Sciences and Engineering, four in Life Sciences and one in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The research subjects include microbial food webs, algorithms to identify electrophysiological features of memory encoding and recall in human iEEG as well as fatigue performance of asphalt mixtures.
Simplified procedures
The Weave Programme aims at simplifying the submission and selection procedures in all academic disciplines involving researchers from two or three European countries. Winners are selected pursuant to the Lead Agency Procedure according to which only one partner institution is in charge of merit-based evaluation.
Under the Weave Programme, partner research teams apply for parallel funding of joint research projects to their respective institutions participating in the Weave Programme. Joint projects must include a coherent research program with the added value of the international cooperation clearly defined.
Research funding institutions from Luxembourg (Fonds National de la Recherche – FNR) and Belgium-Flanders (Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek – Vlaanderen – FWO) will join the Programme in January 2022.
The ranking list of proposals recommended for funding by the GAČR is yet another list of proposals selected under the Weave-UNISONO call. The first ranking list was published in September 2021 and included project recommended for funding by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
