PhD projects & Funding

Types of project funding:

We now publish only fully-funded projects, which offer net total funding at the minimal level of 25 000 CZK/month for the normal duration of PhD studies. The funding is typically a combination of state stipend and contract from the supervisor's grant or institution. Note that depending on the grant and institutional policies, the net income may be higher.

All students have the possibility to apply for additional independent funds for salary, travel, and equipment at the Grant Agency of the Charles University.

PhD students can take advantage of subsidized meals, discounted public transport, possibility of staying in student dormitories, and free „Czech as foreign language“ classes. There is only symbolic tuition for foreign PhD students. The price level in Prague can be estimated at Numbeo.

Application form is now open. Application deadline is January 15 2025.
