What?

FWO Junior & Senior Research Projects: 
Research projects are initiated by the researchers. Two types can be awarded: junior and senior research projects. The objective of FWO's Research projects is to advance fundamental scientific research. This happens on initiative of the researcher in all scientific disciplines.

• For junior projects a supervisor-spokesperson and (co-)supervisor must have obtained his/her first PhD degree max. 12 years before the submission deadline of the project application.
• For senior projects the supervisor-spokesperson or the (co-)supervisor has obtained his/her first PhD degree more than 12 years before the submission deadline of the project application.

The objective of the FWO's Research projects is to advance fundamental scientific research in all scientific disciplines.

Weave Programme:
Weave supports excellent European collaborative research projects across national and regional borders. Based on the Lead Agency Principle, Weave aims to simplify the submission and selection procedure of collaborative project proposals. Weave is not a new, separate funding programme. It makes use of existing funding channels for fundamental research (with the corresponding timelines and conditions) within the portfolio of one of the partners who have officially signed the Weave initiative. The FWO has been integrate the Weave initiative as of 2021 within its channel for regular FWO research projects for fundamental research.

  To support applicants applying for a junior or senior research project the research coordination office has invited Julia Staykova-McKinnon from Scriptorium Training & Consulting for a remote workshop "Focus on the FWO junior/senior research project: boosting your grant-writing skill and rhetorical strategy". The workshop consists of 3 different sessions (see workshop programme). The second session will be split into two groups. In addition a series of podcast lectures is available for self-study.
  
   
  This workshop is only open to UHasselt staff. Since places are limited, we expect you to participate in all 3 sessions. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions we ask you to indicate that in the registration form. If there are more registrations than places, priority will be given to those participants who can attend all sessions.
  If you wish to attend the workshop, please register via this form before 17/02/21.
