The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) is Austria's central funding organisation for basic research. FWF Coaching-Workshops offer a practical insight into the working methods and procedures of the FWF and clarify crucial points of the application and review process.
Target group
The workshop is targeted at scholars and scientists who:
- wish to gain a practical insight into the working methods and procedures of the FWF and
- wish to learn about critical points of the application process and best practice for successful grant proposals.
Requirements: Participants are expected to have a basic knowledge about the funding programmes of the FWF. Scientists and scholars from all disciplines and career levels are welcomed.
Content and Methods
Coaching workshops are practice-oriented: inputs from FWF experts alternate with practical exercises. The main focus of these workshops is the close examination of real proposals taken from the FWF's daily work. Participants slip into the role of reviewers and analyse and discuss rejected applications and the corresponding approved resubmissions (including reviews). By comparing the initial application with the approved resubmission, participants learn the "dos and don’ts" as well as the opportunities and pitfalls of the application process. Finally, the workshop covers aspects of the review and decision-making processes as well as project management in the event of a positive funding decision.
Further information
Depending on the number of registrations by WU staff, staff of the Ludwig-Boltzmann-Gesellschaft may also participate in the workshop.
