Charles University announces the first call for mini‑projects aimed at supporting industry‑specific and interdisciplinary activities related to the implementation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative in the Czech Republic.
Objective of the call
The objective of the call is to support domain-specific and interdisciplinary activities as part of the implementation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative in the Czech Republic in accordance with the conceptual document "Architecture of EOSC Implementation in the Czech Republic".
The objective of the call is to involve a broader target group in the activities of the Open Science II project – and in particular in ensuring the FAIRification of research data, metadata and repositories and ensuring standardization/compatibility and the interconnection of systems and other activities necessary for the functioning of the NDI through "mini-projects" that can be utilised both by the applicant's and project partners' entities, as well as by other entities outside the partnership (known collectively as "participating institutions").
Results of the Evaluation of Mini-Project Applications
On 22 July 2026, the evaluation process of mini-project applications submitted under the 1st Call was completed in accordance with the Methodology for Applicants and Participating Institutions. The final list of recommended/not recommended mini-projects including the queue of reserve mini-projects is available here.
