FFG General Programmes
The FFG General Programmes use this instrument to support commercially relevant research projects which are run by companies, research institutes, individual researchers and inventors. Key funding criteria include project quality (e.g. technical risk, innovation potential), commercial exploitation (e.g. market experience and prospects), technical & financial feasibility and programme relevance (e.g. additionality). The FFG’s general funding is application-oriented and not limited to specific research topics or deadlines.
Potential applicants include industrial companies, joint research institutes and other scientific institutes, as well as their legal representatives, industrial organisations, individual researchers and consortia based in Austria. Start-up funding and next-generation funding is also offered to newly established companies and newly qualified graduates.
