| Abstract : |
The FWOs mission is to stimulate and support groundbreaking fundamental and strategic basic research in all areas of science at the universities in the Flemish Community, including collaboration agreements between Flemish universities and other research institutes. It also funds research infrastructures and participation of researchers in research infrastructures.
The FWO funds excellent and promising researchers as well as research projects following an interuniversity competition and an evaluation by national and international experts.
The only criterion is the outstanding quality of the researcher and research proposal and for strategic basic research also valorisation.
The funds that the FWO makes available for fulfilling its obligations come primarily from the Flemish Government and the Federal Government. Within the policy lines of the political authorities, the FWO is scientifically completely autonomous when selecting and evaluating those benefiting from fellowships and grants.
