Q: What are the options for involving multiple Czech partners in an international consortium, and how is the allocation of national financial support handled in such cases?

Within a consortium project, a Czech institution may act as the lead applicant and apply for national funding. The involvement of an additional Czech co-applicant is permitted, in which case the maximum amount of funding per project (e.g., €250,000) is divided among these entities so that the total does not exceed the specified limit. At the national level, however, it is recommended to list only one partner for ČR, namely the lead applicant. If another Czech partner (co-applicant) plays a significant role in the project (e.g., participates in work packages), they may be listed in the pre-proposal as the second Czech partner. This must also be in accordance with the international terms of the call.
