If you're interested in collaborating with MIT faculty and researchers and seeking support from the fund, be sure to join an online info session, which will take place on 31 July 2024 at 4pm (CEST). The webinar is open to all interested researchers from Czech universities and research institutes.
You can register for the webinar here.
Launched in 2021, the program is a collaboration between MIT, the IOCB Tech Foundation, and the Czech Academy of Sciences. The fund promotes cutting-edge research collaborations and helps to deepen partnerships between MIT faculty and researchers and their counterparts from Czech universities and research institutes. The IOCB Tech Foundation contributes $100,000 annually to the fund, which supports 3 to 5 new collaborations each year with up to $25,000 each. These funds can be used for travel and accommodation costs related to project meetings and scientific internships.
More detailed information about the upcoming call for proposals will be released at the beginning of August.
