Excellent results
About the grant
The aim of this support is to finalise/upgrade an exceptionally high-quality research result which is in an advanced state of development and is limited only by a lack of financial resources. The result should fulfil the parameters for top results in its field of study and should be successful in any national research evaluation that takes quality into account (currently Pillar II). The programme will support for example: publication in a journal with a high IF, finalisation of a monograph to be published by a prestigious foreign publisher, etc. The financial support is not for the results of applied research (e.g. patent, utility model or methodology).
Calls
There are 2 or 3 calls a year.
