Funding organisation:

Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen

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 integrated the Weave initiative as of 2021 within its channel for regular FWO research projects for fundamental research.

Application?

Timing: Internal deadline for submission: 24 March 2023 (5 PM)
Applicants need to submit their research proposal via the E-portal of FWO before the internal deadline. The applications will be automatically transferred to the research coordination office (OBI). OBI has to finalize the submission before the FWO deadline (3 April 2023).

This internal deadline is only applicable if UHasselt is the main applicant. When UHasselt is a co-applicant, you have to respect the internal deadline of the university of the main applicant.

    To launch the 2023 call at Hasselt University, FWO will introduce the eligibility criteria, the application procedure and selection procedure during an info session.

  • Workshop: Focus on the FWO junior/senior research project: boosting your grant-writing skill and rhetorical strategy (27 February and 1 & 3 March 2023).
    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). Take note that the 3rd session is a “sharing” session in which you are asked to share examples. 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 23/02/23.
