Summary of the Programme

Total Budget: EUR 73.000.000

1st Call in 2008: 34 Projects Selected
2nd Call in 2009: 37 Projects Selected

Based on the Foresight exercise and following the experience of the ongoing multi-annual programmes, the FNR implemented a single framework programme in 2008, the so-called CORE Thematic Programme. The main objective of the CORE programme is to raise the scientific quality of Luxembourg research in the priority domains identified through the Foresight process and retained by the Government.

The FNR has processed two CORE calls so far (2008 and 2009). The submitted research projects were evaluated by international peers. The FNR decision bodies have decided – based on the scientific quality of the proposals – to fund 71 out of 194 projects submitted. In total, EUR 28.8 million out of the EUR 50 million available have been allocated.
