Is it possible to include part-time employees in the project without having to make up the difference to full-time status (e.g., through in-kind contributions)?

Yes, it is acceptable to involve part-time staff, and there is no need to make up the difference to a full-time equivalent through in-kind contributions. Within the framework of European partnerships, the Ministry of Health of ČR andČR AZV ČR do not set aČR workload; instead, it is subject to the rules of the employing institution and the Labor Code. It is common for a single researcher to participate in multiple projects with varying workloads. It is important that the workload corresponds to the actual scope of work on the project.
