FWF grants over 2 million euros for six research projects!

The research landscape in Austria can be happy: Six exciting international individual projects were approved by the fund to promote scientific research (FWF). The total funding amount amounts to over 2 million euros that will flow into innovative projects. The FWF is once again at the level of its work and shows itself as a central institutional pillar of basic research in Austria. The “Individual Projects International” program enables scientists to carry out time -limited research projects together with partners from selected countries in order to further promote the exchange of knowledge and cooperation. uibk.ac.at reports that…

The individual projects cover a wide range of specialist disciplines and show the diverse research potential, which can be found in Austrian universities and institutes. They are not only thematically interesting, but also up to date and of high relevance for society. The approved projects include:

• Benjamin Kremmel from the Institute for Department of Department, which explores language tests for migration and integration.
• Daniel Baumgarten from the Institute for Mechatronics, which deals with online EEG analysis in neurorehabilitation.
• Stephan Denifl from the Institute for Ion Physics and Applied Physics, the electron attachment to triazole and their complexes.
• Jasper Moernaut from the Institute of Geology, which reconstructs Alpine dangers based on sea sediments.
• Rainer Böhme from the Institute for Computer Science, which analyzes basic considerations when embedding information.
• Manuela Lehner from the Institute for Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences, which researches horizontal shear production via complex terrain.

growth through international cooperation

The program has not only set itself the goal of promoting research projects, but also strengthening international cooperation. The funding duration is a maximum of 36 or 48 months, depending on the respective country of cooperation, and the application is made via the electronic application portal Elane. fwf.ac.at explains that ...

The advantages for everyone involved are clear: Due to the thematic and geographical diversity, valuable knowledge can be gained that are relevant far beyond the borders of Austria. The consideration of international standards and the peer review process also ensure that only the highest quality projects receive funding.

Austria as a science location

The support of the FWF makes a decisive contribution to positioning Austria as an attractive science location in international comparison. It pursues the goal of strengthening scientific performance and building communication bridges between science and society. BMFWF.GV.AT emphasizes that ...

With a wide range of funding programs and the possibility of also taking up socially relevant topics, the FWF shows that it was able to establish himself as a reliable partner for domestic research. The awarding of over 2 million euros reveals the will to promote innovative ideas far beyond the box and thus make basic research decisively.
