With the 1000 Ideas Programme, the FWF supports the promotion of completely new, daring or particularly original research ideas that lie outside the current scientific understanding. The key aim is to investigate future-oriented research topics with high scientific and transformative potential. The target group is qualified principal investigators – both established researchers and those at the beginning of their career – who work or want to work at Austrian research institutions.

In a virtual information event, the programme specifics and application guidelines of these programmes will be presented and specific aspects of the application process will be addressed. After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to clarify any open questions.
