  • Offer for PhD students within the Tandem CEFRES program

    The new Tandem incubator program scheme at CEFRES, dedicated to Charles University, has been relaunched for the second time: it offers a half-time position for two years at CEFRES for one CU colleague, working with his or her French peer on a common project. 

    • Since 2018, the Tandem program endeavours excellency in social sciences and humanities by bringing together Czech and French colleagues to intensify scientific collaboration between our countries in the frame of European Research Area. Its former members have obtained two ERC grants, including the BOAR project.

    • The aim of the program is to associate two researchers around a joint research project for two years, leading to the submission of a project proposal to one of the European or international research programs (Horizon Europe, ERC, ANR or assimilated). 

    • Since 2024, the program opened a new scheme, reuniting one researcher from Charles University and one from the CNRS or affiliated to a CNRS research unit (UMR). A new call has just been launched and will be open until May 9, 2025. Please know that the accent being put on fostering Czech-French collaborations, the knowledge of English is absolutely sufficient for the program. You will find the two identical calls:
