As part of a joint project of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and SNAU “Platform AgriSciences to strengthen science in higher education in Ukraine” a call for mobility and scientific grants was launched. The application deadline is September 15, 2020.
Applications are not interrelated.
- Minimum duration of mobility – 5 days (+2 days for travel), maximum number of days can be determined by a participant within the established budget – each applicant receives about € 770 (as a lump sum) to cover all costs associated with mobility (including travel costs), daily allowance, accommodation, etc). The participant has the right to distribute the costs at his own discretion within a lump sum of 770 euros. To submit applications, send the email to a SNAU project coordinator from a Ukrainian side – Assoc. Professor Tetiana Khvorost to the e-mail: khvorost.t83@gmail.com with the following documents:
1) a motivation letter,
2) an academic resume,
The research grant is awarded in a flat amount of € 1,100 based on research in 8 key areas:
– agricultural machinery,
– ecological economy,
– environmental engineering,
– forestry,
– socio-economic aspects in agriculture,
– gender and migration in agriculture,
– plant sciences,
– agricultural policy.
- Researchers must submit a standard project application based on the project for 12 months and the mandatory at least 1 publication in the journals indexed in the WoS/Scopus databases. Another mandatory requirement is that a research team must include at least one participant representing one of the partners of the consortium (SSU, KhNAU, DSAEU, Czech UPN). Teams must be multidisciplinary and include those scientists who have defended their dissertations no later than 15 years ago. The application deadline is also September 15, 2020, and grantees will be notified after September 20. Project reporting is expected on December 15, 2020. To submit applications, send the email to the coordinator Tetiana Khvorost to the e-mail khvorost.t83@gmail.com and put a copy of the Czech representative – Mr. Marek Jelinek: marekjelinek@ftz.czu.cz.
We use this opportunity to remind that this project is aimed at strengthening the capacity and cooperation of young teachers, researchers and masters and doctoral students in selected Ukrainian universities by creating a platform – AgriSciences Platform for sharing information on Agrarian Sciences, as well as creating multidisciplinary scientific teams and announcing grant opportunities. In addition, a series of trainings (both by Czech and Ukrainian experts) will be organized to improve the quality of scientific outputs and publications, as well as to extend selected participants knowledge. Finally, the project will support information sharing and increase scientific and research capacities through the organization of mobilities. 10 selected Ukrainian young scientists will be sent for an internship to the Czech Republic to CZU.
We would also like to note that there is another project that is currently implemented in cooperation with CULS under the title of “Inter-University Cooperation As A Tool To Improve The Quality Of Selected Universities Of Ukraine“. The main goal of the project is to strengthen the capacity building of management, young academic staff, researchers and masters at several Ukrainian universities in the field of quality assurance, research, cooperation with practice and community involvement. The goal will be achieved by the active participation of Czech university scientists in the exchange of know-how and the transfer of good practices from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague to partner universities.
