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 four CORE calls so far. 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 135 out of 385 projects submitted. In total, EUR 65,3 million out of the EUR 95 million available have been allocated.
