Internal research programmes provides fundamental support for research activities at FHS CU. This type of funding is intended for long-term conceptual development (institutional funding of research) and the following projects belongs in this category.

COOPERATIO

The programme of basic institutional support for science and research implemented at Charles University as of 1 January 2022. The structure of the Cooperatio programme's scientific areas and disciplines consists of 43 scientific areas within 4 panels (humanities - "HUM", social sciences - "SOC", natural sciences, mathematics and computer science - "SCI", medical sciences - "MED"). The scientific areas are further divided into disciplines and include all scientific fields that are being systematically developed at the University.

Cooperatio is a tool to promote communication, coordination and cooperation between all faculties and higher education institutes of the Charles University where a particular field is developed. Thanks to the disciplinary breakdown, compatibility with the internal evaluation of the creative activity of the University is ensured.
