FWO Bilateral Research Projects with South Africa

Research

Funding organisation:

Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen

What?

The FWO and the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) have launched the call for joint research projects open to fundamental research in all scientific disciplines. These three-year joint research projects go beyond the classic exchange and collaboration projects, because staff and consumables can also be financed. The entire Flemish team can request a max. of € 85.000 per year for staff and consumables and max. € 150,000 per project for equipment.

Please note:

• In the framework of this call with South Africa, you can only act once as a supervisor(-spokesperson) or co-supervisor.
• Applications in the framework of this cooperation are not part of the FWO regular research project competition and:
  • no distinction is made between junior and senior research projects.
  • do not count for the maximum of two projects per application round for which you may act as (co-)supervisor;
  • are not taken into account for the maximum of two projects applied for and ongoing on the start date of the newly allocated project;

Application?

Deadline for submission is the 1st of June 2023 (5pm local time) for FWO and the 1st of June 2023 (midnight local time) for NRF. Projects will start in January 2024.
