Fellowship for Prospective Researchers – Lumina Quaeruntur
The Lumina Quaeruntur fellowship established by the Academy Council of the Czech Academy of Sciences as an instrument to support scientific excellence in the CAS is intended to award outstanding prospective researchers in setting up new scientific teams at the research institutes of the CAS to allow developing their science programme focused on conceptually new topics that significantly shift the frontiers of knowledge or are aimed at socially important practical applications. The proposals for the Lumina Quaeruntur fellowship are submitted by the directors of research institutes of the CAS after consultation with the Institute Board.
