Voucher program to bridge funding gaps in clinical research
Our primary objective is to ensure an uninterrupted flow of research that may lead to significant innovations, ultimately improving well-being for humanity. We have therefore established a new program offering fast and flexible vouchers (financial contributions of up to CZK 200,000) to cover essential clinical research expenses and bridge potential gaps in larger grant funding.
Science Communication Support Program 2025
We've launched a new round of our support program for science communication projects in the Czech Republic, with up to CZK 1 million available in total funding. The goal of the program is to help bring interesting and innovative projects to life – especially those that don’t yet have full financial backing. You can receive up to CZK 200,000 for your project, but no more than 75% of its direct costs. Applications are accepted until 30 April 2025.
Czech-Israeli Innovation Internships
Czech-Israeli Innovation Internships, a unique exchange program organized by the Neuron Foundation and IOCB Tech Foundation, offers four Israeli MA and PhD students to visit the Czech Republic and work in excellent Czech facilities under the guidance of renowned scientists. The one-month-long internship offers expanded research portfolios, opportunities to build international contacts, and overall invaluable experience.
Cool Chemistry (with Experientia Foundation)
Each year, together with the Experientia Foundation, we award 500,000 CZK to the top 25 projects aimed at making chemistry education in primary and secondary schools more engaging. The Cool Chemistry grant is dedicated to passionate teachers who want to spark a love for chemistry in their students. We believe that targeted, long-term support can make a big difference in Czech chemistry, helping it move toward global excellence.
Martina Roeselová Memorial Fellowship
The fellowship helps young scientists balance competitive scientific work with high-quality care for preschool-aged children. Stipends are awarded for a single calendar year in the amount of CZK 150,000 and are intended for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows at the beginning of their careers and facing difficult life situations, who are the primary caregivers of preschool-aged children while conducting competitive research in the natural sciences at universities or research institutes in the Czech Republic.
MIT-Czech Republic IOCB Tech Foundation Seed Fund
We help develop collaborations between scientists from Czech institutions and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. We fund the MIT-Czech Republic IOCB Tech Foundation Seed Fund with $100,000 per year to support early-stage collaborations not covered by standard grant support.
