Vienna Science and Technology Fund

The Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) is an organization whose mission is to support outstanding research work through competitive research funding. It selects excellent scientific projects according to strict criteria and high-quality procedures, and provides substantial financial support. Its work is embedded in socially relevant questions through carefully planned thematic priorities and active networking between disciplines and institutions. It sets long-term thematic programs to strengthen the Vienna scientific community, with regular calls for individuals and/or projects. It supports larger scientific projects with funding mainly for personnel costs, project durations of 2–4 years, and funding of up to €1 million per project. It also brings promising young researchers to Vienna and binds them to the location long-term, with a maximum total funding of €1.8 million over 6–8 years to enable the establishment of a first own research group. To a lesser extent, it finances accompanying projects, mainly within existing programs, with funding of up to €100,000. Its subsidiary, WWTF GmbH, offers services in the research and innovation sector, including dual career service, evaluations, consulting, and projects & studies.
