Q@A session FWF ASTRA
Dear Researchers,
FWF is launching a new ASTRA Award program, with a submission deadline on the 3rd of October 2024
If you are interested to submit to this call and if you have missed the FWF information events, you can still register to our internal information and Q@A seminar
ASTRA is intended to provide support to researchers in the consolidation of their academic careers as an independent researcher. Postdoc candidates, or any other researchers (outside tenured-professors) are eligible if the date of their PhD defense falls between 2 and a maximum of 9 years.
ASTRA replaces both the previous Elise Richter and Elise Richter PEEK programs for women and the START Awards, and picks up where the ESPRIT program for early-stage researchers, successfully launched in 2021, leaves off.
Funding opportunity: from €500,000 up to €1 million for 5 years.
More info can be found here: https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/funding/portfolio/careers/fwf-astra-awards
There is one call per year, that will open for submission in July and close on the 3rd of October this year.
In this seminar, I will give general information about this call including eligibility criteria, funding possibilities and guidelines, and of course, answer your questions.
This will take place via zoom, on the 04.07.24 from 9:00 to 10:00
