organisation profile

The Fund stimulates and funds fundamental academic research at the universities in the Flemish Community and at scientific research institutes. It is Flanders' instrument for supporting and stimulating fundamental research and advancing its quality on the basis of academic, inter-university competition. Fundamental research is sustained by first-rate, highly specialised researchers: it is the basis for new knowledge and its associated human capital open ways for the goal-oriented, applied, technological, strategic research. By creating prosperity and well-being it stimulates as well the concerned community as the society as a whole. The fund endeavours to achieve its purpose by: support for individual researchers, supporting prominent research teams, promoting (national and international) scientific contacts and co-operation, awarding scientific prizes and participating in international co-operation projects.
