[1] If a scholarship is planned in the project, it is necessary to follow the parameters based on the Higher Education Act (§ 91) and the Masaryk University Scholarship Regulations. The scholarship is a reward for the creative or extraordinary activity of students, i.e. it does not cover situations for which an employment relationship is otherwise agreed (e.g. FTE, WPA). The scholarship must not be awarded as a compensation for an activity that can be qualified as dependent work.
Project implementation is governed by applicable laws, the Masaryk University Guidelines for Project Management (No. 6/2016) as amended and related valid internal standards of Masaryk University or the Faculty/HS.
All actions related to the use of allocated funds are subject to the financial control rules applicable at Masaryk University. Responsible persons are determined according to the financial control rules.
The funds for the individual projects are recorded in a separate contract with activity 1182 and must be drawn down by 31 December 2025; an extension of implementation is not possible.
The project implementator and the guarantor are responsible for the implementation of the project according to the established rules and the registration of the project in ISEP.
One student can be the proposer/implementator of only one project in a given call. This provision does not apply to the project guarantor.
The MU employee who acts as the project guarantor is always the financial disposer.
If the project is implemented at several faculties or other HS, the project implementator is responsible for the project as a whole and is responsible for ensuring that all HS and departments involved are informed about the project and agree to its implementation (interaction and communication within MU is ensured by the project guarantor). The consenting opinion of the involved economical unit will be documented by a project proposal guide in ISEP approved by all economical units concerned.
The implementator is obliged to properly implement the project within the approved budget, in accordance with the defined objectives and deliverables, to comply with the set conditions, and to use the provided funds economically, efficiently and effectively.
Changes in the course of the project shall be consulted individually with the project guarantor. In the event of a change that may significantly affect the implementation of the project, the project implementator shall immediately inform the contact person at the RMU Development Department.
At the end of the project implementation, the implementator is obliged to prepare a final report on the project results. The final report will contain a description of the results of the project with comments on the changes in the project and the implementation of the individual budget items, including an accounting of the funds provided. The final report form and collection will be done in ISEP (separate Final Report tab). The final report will be prepared by the end of the month following the end of the physical implementation of the project, i.e. by 31 January 2026 at the latest.
Masaryk University is entitled to check the use of the allocated funds at any time during the project implementation and to invite the researchers to present the results achieved.
All outputs funded by the Community Fund project must bear the Masaryk University logo or information about the source of funding and be produced according to the valid unified visual style of the University (https://sablony.muni.cz/)
The process of screening and evaluation of project proposals is carried out in the following stages:
The selection of projects for implementation is decided by an evaluation committee appointed by the Rector.
The expert evaluation committee is composed of representatives of the MU management, managers and employees of the RMU departments concerned.
The final selection of projects for implementation is ensured by designated representatives of MU management and the AS Student Chamber.
The list of supported projects will be published on the website https://sustain.muni.cz/ no later than 20 April 2025.
