FWO Weave with NCN Poland (Lead Agency) 2024

Research

Funding organisation:

Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen

What?

The Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) and the NCN Poland have launched their Weave call.  This means that Polish-Flemish consortia can submit their joint project proposal at NCN as Lead Agency until the 16th of December 2024 in the OPUS 28+ LAP/Weave call .

Polish and Flemish researchers can submit a bilateral research project, or where desired, extend to a trilateral project. When NCN is the Lead Agency, Polish and Flemish researchers can additionally collaborate with colleagues from Luxembourg (FNR) or Austria (FWF) or Slovenia (ARIS) or Switzerland (SNSF) or Germany (DFG).

Projects submitted within the call with NCN Poland as Lead Agency (deadline: 16/12/2024) will be evaluated in 2025 and, when successful, will start at Flemish side on 1st of January 2026. As a consequence, this type of NCN-FWO projects are taken into account at the Flemish side for the maximum of 2 projects:

• For which one can act as (co-)supervisor(-spokesperson) in application round 2025
• That one can have registered in his/her name as (co-)supervisor(-spokesperson) on 01/01/2026.

Project duration: maximum 4 years

Who?

Researchers eligible at the FWO can submit together with their non-Flemish/foreign partner (eligible at one of the aforementioned research funders) a bilateral (trilateral) research project to the research funder for which the non-Flemish/foreign partner is eligible. This research funder will act as the Lead Agency and as such be responsible for the entire administrative procedure and scientific evaluation.
 

Application?

In addition to the submission to NCN, the Flemish supervisor-spokesperson needs to do an administrative submission to the FWO through the E-portal, using the Specific application form ‘Research project WEAVE (FWO acts as Partner Agency)’, no later than 7 working days after the NCN-deadline where the complete research proposal was submitted. Currently, the FWO application form (FWO acts as Partner Agency) is only open for NCN Poland, there are no other Weave calls.

Important: in the tab ‘project’ of the application form ‘Research project WEAVE (FWO acts as Partner Agency)’ you must upload the complete and identical application (not only the project description) as submitted to NCN Poland (PDF format). Furthermore, make sure that the main applicants at Flemish and non-Flemish sides as well as the requested Flemish budget submitted to NCN Poland are identical to what is being submitted to the FWO in the administrative submission. Discrepancies in these data might lead to ineligibility of a proposal.
