Challenge Fund - expected call for proposals

During June 2023, we expect the opening of the call CHALLENGE FUND - Czech Solutions for SDGs. This call has been opened several times in previous years and University of Chemistry and Technology Prague has already succeeded with two projects - BLESGY, led by Dr. Kapila from the Department of Economics and Management, and Ecological product innovation lab at the Moldovan Agrifood Business Incubator, led by Doc. Doležal from the Department of Food Analysis and Nutrition.

This call supports both the transfer of Czech innovations and know-how to partner countries Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Ethiopia, Zambia, and Cambodia. It is suitable for research groups as well as service departments focusing on, for example, the education of students, teachers, and administrative staff or the connection of universities with industry and the business sphere.

More information about the Challenge Fund from previous years can be found on the UNDP website or on the Project Centre website. If you are interested in the call, it is advisable to start looking for a local partner now.
