Excellence Hubs

Newly established innovation ecosystems based on a model of cooperation of research institutions, businness companies, regional authorities and various social entities.

Actions for better Brain Circulation

In addition to the existing ERA Chairs have been established:


ERA Fellowships build on the Widening Fellowships pilot project under the MSCA Fellowships.


ERA Talents will provide training and career development grants, promote postdoctoral career diversity, and raise awareness of good practice in employment and creating good working conditions for these talents.


Goals:

  • Institutional reforms of universities in "widening" countries

  • More efficient use of existing research infrastructure

  • Ability to attract the best researchers and thus reverse the "brain drain"

  • Improve permeability between sectors: academic and business (greater permeability when changing scientific careers)

*On the European Centre website, we present just some of the changes HE is bringing about that are particularly relevant to the CU. The comprehensive HE website is maintained by the Technology Centre (TC) Prague.
