The FWF is inviting tenders for an evaluation of the FWF’s 1000 Ideas program. The evaluation should focus mainly on the question of whether projects funded by this program address novel, forward-looking topics that are highly relevant for science, research and, ideally, society. They should have the potential to transform existing fields of research and/or fundamentally challenge established paradigms in science and research.
