Description
The Austrian Science Fund (FWF), in cooperation with the Slovak Research and Development Agency (APVV), supports bilateral research collaborations between Austria and Slovakia through Principal Investigator Projects International. The call is open to qualified researchers across all disciplines of basic research and supports joint projects lasting up to three years.
Projects should combine the complementary expertise of the Austrian and Slovak partners, with closely integrated research activities and relevant scientific input from both sides. The central goal is to create added scientific value through international cooperation rather than fund separate, unrelated activities. Partners prepare and carry out the project jointly, while each agency funds its own country’s team and independently reviews the corresponding application.
