Joint Research Projects

Joint Research Projects (JRP) is a type of international programme in which the SAS and the relevant partner organisation abroad fund bilateral research projects prepared and implemented in close cooperation with researchers from two countries. (In the case of the programmes with Japan and Korea, the V4 countries as a whole are considered the other party of bilateral cooperation.) The key for the projects is the interconnection of research activities in both countries and the complementarity of the expertise of the collaborating teams. The aim is to support exchanges and cooperation between SAS researchers and researchers, engineers and institutions in the partner country, for example to submit other joint projects within European schemes.

Details and specifics concerning the method of submitting project proposals, evaluation criteria and the financial model of support for selected projects are regulated by each call separately. The evaluation is done either in the form of two parallel evaluation processes at the national level or centrally in an international evaluation panel, depending on the specific call.
