Charles University and the University of St Andrews have established a joint seed funding scheme with the goal of facilitating cooperation in the framework of our strategic partnership. The funding shall enable academic staff from all disciplines to identify complementary strengths, explore areas of synergy, and develop outstanding future projects in research and academic innovation. The joint seed funding aims to support the first steps of cooperation and is not meant as complete project funding.

• Formats of Cooperation:
- intensive research seminars or workshops
- pedagogical workshops (e.g. exploring digital or other course collaboration)
- short-term research stays
- graduate summer/ winter programmes
- collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects

• Funding arrangements:
Project timelines should be clearly outlined in the application and may not exceed 12 months from the project start date. It is expected that projects will start no later than 1 September 2024.

Each application can receive up to £5,000 (approx. €6,000).

• Terms and Conditions: 
The supported activities should have a clearly defined focus and serve as a catalyst for the development of new joint projects. The activities can take place in Prague or in St Andrews. The motivation for holding the activity should be clearly explained, including how the involved CU and UoStA faculties and schools can benefit long term from this cooperation.

A project must be carried out by at least two applicants, one from each institution, who will work together to build a joint proposal. Applicants should be full-time or part-time academic staff with a contract of employment until at least the end of the project.

• Submission and deadline:
One joint application must be submitted by Friday, 3 May 2024 (5pm CET/4pm BST) using the online submission link.
