What happens when researchers from Europe’s top scientific institutes come together, mix in a dash of courage, a sprinkle of creativity, and a touch of music? 🎤
CEITEC hosted a competition unlike anything the Czech science scene has seen before.

"If Europe is to stay competitive and sovereign, we need a sound foundation of early-stage, cross-border collaboration at lower to mid- TRL level that fosters open-ended exploration and strong scientific communities. FP10 is the only programme where such collaborations can thrive," said Marta Agostinho, EU-LIFE Executive Director.
🚨 European research organisations including EU-LIFE call the European Commission, European Parliament and Member States for enhanced and transformed early-stage collaborative research in #FP10.
