Our faculty has been awarded 8 GAČR projects

29. 11. 2025 Jitka Čejková

The Czech Science Foundation (GA ČR) will start funding more than 400 scientific projects across all fields of basic research from next year. The total financial support will exceed CZK 3.7 billion. All project proposals underwent a two-stage evaluation process conducted exclusively by researchers from Czech and international institutions.

Standard projects

Starting in 2026, GA ČR will support 336 new standard projects. Project proposals with a duration of up to three years may be submitted by all researchers and their teams, regardless of age or experience. Due to budget constraints, the success rate has reached a historically lowest level of only 14%.

Five projects will have their principal investigator from the Faculty of Chemical Technology:

  • Ing. Přemysl Fitl, Ph.D. se svým projektem: Composite oxidic aerogels for tailored detection of biogenic amines in gaseous environment;
  • prof. Ing. Michal Přibyl, Ph.D. se svým projektem: Continuous unit operations for enantiomer separation using layers with ionic selectors;
  • prof. RNDr. Pavel Matějka, Dr. se svým projektem: Self-assembly processes playing a decisive role in the enhanced effectiveness of solar cells;
  • prof. Ing. Karel Friess, Ph.D. se svým projektem: Tailoring the interfacial properties of bio-inspired fluorine-free hydrophobic membranes for improved separation of gases and liquids;
  • prof. RNDr. Petr Slavíček, Ph.D. se svým projektem: Triggering and probing ultrafast reactions with high-energy photons: Advancing computational methods;

Researchers from our faculty will also participate as co-investigators in three further projects:

  • prof. RNDr. Jiří Kolafa, CSc. v projektu: Mixtures of vapors and gases: equation of state and nucleation;
  • Mario Vazdar, Ph.D. v projektu: Biophysical Design and Evaluation of Hybrid Lipid-Polymer-Peptide Nanocarriers for Enhanced Topical Glaucoma Treatment;
  • doc. Ing. Viola Tokárová, Ph.D. v projektu: From Speculation to Mechanism: Deciphering the True Potential of Poly(Heptazine Imide).

We are very pleased that so many projects were successful thanks to the strong involvement of our researchers. We congratulate all principal investigators, co-investigators and their teams, and wish them continued success in the years to come.
