CZERA 2021 - 2027

The aim of the Centre’s activities within the CZERA project is to: 
• support the competitiveness of Czech research organisations 
• increase their preparedness for cooperation at the international level in the new European research support program Horizon Europe

Within this activity, the Centre committed itself to organise at least 24 seminars, develop 10 training modules, provide 60 consultations, prepare 60 internal trainings for research organisations and provide a continuous professional support for state advisory bodies and working groups. In addition, the Centre fulfils the obligations of the Czech Republic within the European advisory bodies and the chairmanship of the Standing Working Group on Gender in Research and Innovation under the European Research Area and Innovation Committee.
