I inform that the national application must be submitted to the CAWP before sending the joint application. The joint proposals can be sent only after the CAWP's supervisor has verified it.
Out of concern for the quality of submitted projects, especially in terms of meeting formal requirements, I encourage you to consult applications and submit documents to the CAWP in earlier dates than mentioned above.
I would like to point out that sending the application through the ZSUN / OSF system is an operation that makes it impossible to make subsequent changes.
In connection with the above, the national proposals in electronic form should be sent only after obtaining the signatures on the printed version of the proposal and on Confirmation of submitting the proposal in the MOZART call by an authorized representative of the entity acting as the project’s host institution.
At the same time, I am asking you to inform the project supervisor at CAWP about your application in the MOZART call, regardless of the expected date of submission of this application. Due to the fact that the recruitment is conducted on an ongoing basis, it will allow to estimate the interest in the call and organize a possible information meeting for applicants.
