The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) announced the results of the Standard Projects tender. “It is extremely difficult to succeed in our tenders, which we have been running every year for almost 3 decades – this year only about one-fifth of the best proposals succeeded,” said Petr Baldrian, President of GACR. The following researchers have received the grants:
Catherine Annen
Formation, extent and duration of permeable crystal suspensions in the cortical column
Petr Kolínský
Detecting remote velocity anomalies in the upper mantle
Gregory Ruetenik
Interplay between relative sea-level and surface processes: comparing responses across tectonically active and inactive terrains
Standard Projects are the core of targeted aid for basic research in the Czech Republic. Starting in 2023, GACR will be funding 459 new Standard Projects worth CZK 3.5 billion. All researchers and their teams, regardless of their age and experience, may submit proposals for projects with a duration of up to three years. This project type has been funded since 1993.
