MUNI JUNIOR STAR

Objective of support

The main goal of the MUNI Junior Star is to create conditions for exceptionally promising researchers shortly after Ph.D. to prepare for the submission of an application for a prestigious individual grant (GA ČR JUNIOR STAR, ERC, or others).

The MUNI Junior Star holder will receive 2 M CZK/year for 2 years. The total budget is max 4 M CZK for the project. In the case of gaining an individual prestigious grant, support will be terminated on the start date of the awarded grant.

Candidate profile
An eligible applicant is a junior scientist who submitted an application to the GA ČR JUNIOR STAR in 2024 for Masaryk University and was ranked by GA ČR among the top 20% of applicants but did not receive funding from the GA ČR. Eligible candidates and project support will be contacted directly by the GAMU administrator.
