ERA-Net

NORFACE

Objective
NORFACE (New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency Co-operation in Europe) is an ERA-NET which focuses on interlinking national funding agencies and developing funding activities in the field of social sciences. The FWF is participating in the NORFACE transnational call for research projects in the field of Welfare State Futures. Proposals submitted to NORFACE must involve researchers from at least three participating countries, and the projects are subject to a maximum duration of three years. The programme follows a two-stage application procedure (outline proposal stage, full proposal stage). For detailed information on calls, please visit www.norface.net.
Current call deadlines can also be found at http://www.fwf.ac.at/de/internationales/foerderkategorien_era-net_calls.html.
