The FNR is pleased to communicate the launch of the 2026 ATTRACT Call. Pre-proposal deadline is 13 November 2025, full proposal deadline is 12 February 2026. Through ATTRACT, the FNR offers promising junior researchers the opportunity to set up their own research team within one of the Luxembourg’s research institutions, supported by a 5-year grant of up to 2 MEUR.
Same as in previous ATTRACT calls, gender parity is the rule for institutions submitting more than one proposal. Nevertheless, in order to give consideration to institutional strategies in matters of gender equality, a possibility for derogation from the gender parity rule is outlined in the present call.
