Description
The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) funds the publication of independent, non-profit scholarly research findings in stand-alone digital formats. Supported formats include apps, wiki-based publications, annotated scientific databases, and multimedia web publications incorporating audio, video, or animation. The program supports dissemination of completed basic research rather than new research, making findings accessible through searchable, linked, expandable digital publications.
Funding prioritizes excellent publications of international relevance that meet current disciplinary standards and significantly broaden knowledge or advance research. The chosen digital format must suit the research findings, and additional financial support must be necessary for high-quality publication. Publications must be openly accessible from release. Applications are independent of other FWF programs, with an accelerated decision route available for qualifying publications arising from FWF-funded research.
