ESF Research Networking Programmes

Contact at the FNR: Dr Carlo Duprel

Founded in 1974, the European Science Foundation is an umbrella organisation for national funding organisations and research institutions, with the objective of reinforcing scientific co-operation in Europe. The ESF is primarily a platform for science policy-making organisations but also offers researchers a whole series of funding schemes, which support cross-border research co-operation, networking and the expansion of infrastructures.

ESF Research Networking Programmes

The ESF's Research Networking Programmes lay the foundation for nationally funded research groups to address major scientific and research infrastructure issues, in order to advance the frontiers of existing science. These long-term programmes, subject to selection through an open call and an international peer review process, must deal with high-quality science and demonstrate the added value of being carried out at the European level.
