Can an LLC. take part in the competition and what are the requirements for applicants?

The bidder in this public tender is an organisational unit of the State or an organisational unit of the Ministry engaged in research and development, as well as a legal entity or a natural person applying for aid. The form of the organisation is not restricted in this case. The tenderer must prove its eligibility in accordance with the procedure described in the Tender dossier before the end of the competition period. However, most of these institutions are not considered as research organisations (see the list of research organisations of the Ministry of Education and Science here https://www.msmt.cz/vyzkum-a-vyvoj-2/vyzkumne-organizace) and are therefore obliged to insert additional sources of funding, see 2.3.
