Application?

FWO
No separate national project submission is required for the FWO. However when the application implies an SBO project researchers are asked to provide proactively, and before de pre-proposal submission deadline, a concise – but to the point – valorisation context within Flanders – and internationally potentially.

VLAIO
The application must also be registered via the online portal of VLAIO by 30 March 2023. After registration with your eID you receive (as main applicant) a link to your application to complete the proposal and to upload all necessary supporting documents. 

Please note that after submitting a part of the proposal, the data in this proposal cannot be modified anymore. Make sure that before submitting all parts that the budget is final and that everything in the online portal is consistent with the content of the completed templates.

Only OBI is allowed to submit the part for the "kennisinstelling", as they have a mandate to do so.
