Thank you very much for your generous support! FWO finances basic research which is aimed at moving forward the frontiers of knowledge in all disciplines. Basic research is carried out in the universities of the Flemish Community and in affiliated research institutes. Therefore the FWO is Flanders’ instrument to support and stimulate fundamental research in the scope of scientific inter-university competition. Fundamental research is carried out by first-rate, highly specialised researchers. This research has a large social and cultural value and is the basis for new knowledge which is the basis to build up goal-oriented, applied, technological and strategic research. This approach adds to the well-being and it stimulates as well the concerned community as the society as a whole. The FWO efforts to reach that goal by different approaches : Support of individual researchers by: • attracting and financing talented, recently graduated to obtain a doctoral thesis (Ph.D.) with the Ph.D. grants or Special Ph.D. grants and Clinical Ph.D. grants; • Ph.D.’s can reach an internationally recognised level as Postdoctoral Fellows; • Stimulating postdoctoral experienced clinicians through halftime research grants as Senior Clinical Investigators. Supporting research teams: • to support young researchers at the start of their academic career; • to promote research by supplying personnel, equipment and consumables for top priority research proposals. Promoting national and international scientific mobility by: • establishing Scientific Research Networks to promote co-ordination, national and international contacts at postdoctoral level; • attracting junior and senior Visiting Postdoctoral Fellowships to join a FWO research project or network and bring in extra expertise; • providing grants for active participation of researchers in international congresses; • providing grants for study and training periods abroad; • bilateral agreements and participation in international corporate projects; • sabbatical leaves; • providing grants for organising international congresses in Belgium; • mobility allowances for FWO-Postdoctoral Fellows.
