The Global Staff Mobility programme aims to expand staff mobility opportunities outside of the current grant programmes (e.g., Erasmus+). Both academic and non-academic staff of MU can participate in this programme and spend up to 14 days at a foreign university (non-academic institutions are not supported) in any destination.
Academic and non-academic staff working full-time or part-time (excluding staff with DPČ or DPP - a short-term employment contract) are eligible to take part in this programme. Research placements and conferences are not supported within this programme. The programme supports mainly teaching placements, training placements, job-shadowing, workshops, cooperation establishment, sharing of experiences and other activities of similar nature.
The current deadline for applications was extraordinarily extended to May 31, 2021.

České hlavičky awards 2021
Aimed primarily at high school students, the České hlavičky (Young Czech Minds) project is a comprehensive programme aimed at supporting gifted students in technical and scientific fields by developing a wider interest in these fields, increasing young people’s interest in studying these fields at high schools and universities and in developing scientific careers. České hlavičky also forms part of the EXCELENCE program announced by the Ministry of Education. This program is designed to support schools and educators who care for talented and gifted students and create quality conditions for their further development.
The deadline for applications is July 17, 2020. Individuals or author teams in a maximum composition of three may apply directly by themselves. Other individuals, schools and other organizations may nominate someone else's work.
Competition prizes are awarded in six categories:
- MERKUR "Man and Society"
- GENUS "Nature Around Us"
- INGENIUM "The World of Computers and Communications"
- FUTURA "Solutions for The Future"
- SANITAS "Human Life and Health"
- UNIVERSUM "Man and Exact Sciences", awarded by Crytur and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University
Last year, for example, Hana Bernhardová and Jana Nguyenová, cooperating with MUNI, were awarded by České hlavičky. Hana Bernhardová received an award for her last work within the secondary school professional activity, which she worked on as a student at the František Palacký Grammar School in Valašské Meziříčí in the Loschmidt Laboratories of Masaryk University. Martin Marek from the Faculty of Science, MU, supervised her work.
