FWF: Statement on Environmental Sustainability

18.11.2025

In the most recent update of its Application Guidelines, the FWF is introducing a statement on environmental sustainability in the research process, effective as of December 1, 2025.

Under the new provisions, applicants in the Principal Investigator Projects, Clinical Research, and Principal Investigator Projects International funding programs (if the FWF is responsible for the review process) will be required to explain in their application how aspects of ecological sustainability can be taken into account in the planned research project without limiting the generation of scientific knowledge.

For further information please refer to the FWF’s Website as well as the recently published orientation guide.
