OP JAK RETURNS - Programme Johannes Amos Comenius
Support for increasing the personal development of highpotential researchers after career break
Registration Number: CZ.02.01.01/00/24_037/0013848
Project Annotation:
The proposed project deals with the support of high-potential researchers on or after a career break. The project will prepare a new grant scheme Return Grants and its implementation at UNI-UTB. This project will result in increasing the competitiveness of the target group and their re-entry into the research environment with the aim of achieving a certain collective at UNIUTB and thus compensating for the inability to engage in scientific activities during a career break.
Project Objectives:
The project's objective is to minimize the impact of a career break on further career growth and, by implementing return grants, compensate for gaps in research activities and start effective integration into the research environment. A partial objective of the project is also to enable researchers on a career break to stay in touch with the research or academic environment and to enable them to actively participate in R&D outputs.
Key project activities include:
- Pilot verification of the return grant scheme implementation (until 08/2026)
- Implementation of return grants (until 06/2029)
- Support for researchers on a career break (until 06/2029)
The project "Support for increasing the personal development of highpotential researchers after career break" is co-financed by the European Union.
