Excellent results
About the grant
The aim of this support is to finalize/ upgrade an exceptionally high-quality research result which is in a high state of development but is limited only by the lack of financial resources. The result should fulfil parameters for top results in its field of study and should be successful in any national research evaluation, which takes quality into account (currently Pillar II). The programme will support for example: a publication in a journal with a high IF, finalization of a monography which is going to be published in a prestigious foreign publishing house etc. The financial support is not for results of an applied research (e.g. patent, utility model, methodics).
