PROMO

The Project responds to the inadequate position of the CZU Prague (and universities in the Czech Republic in general) in International Comparisons of Universities in the field of scientific activities. The Project is also in accordance with the CZU Prague Long-Term Plan 2016-2020, which states in its Priority Area 3 "International University" that the CZU Prague will support the work of academic staff abroad and important foreign academic staff at the CZU Prague through short and long-term stays. Emphasize the submission of international research projects, thus increasing the share of resources obtained from international grants and projects and strengthening the international prestige of the CZU Prague. The need for strengthening the international dimension of scientific, research and other creative activities is mainly due to the results of international comparisons within the prestigious global ranking of universities. FLD implements following key activities:
