Fourteen FWF projects approved – University of Innsbruck
At the FWF Board of Trustees meeting at the end of June, 13 individual projects, one joint project and publication funding by scientists from the University of Innsbruck were approved. Two other projects are funded by the anniversary fund of the Austrian National Bank. The Ministry of Science also runs three mediation projects as part of the Sparkling Science program.
The FWF – Fund for the Promotion of Scientific Research – is Austria’s central institution for the promotion of basic research. It is equally committed to all sciences and bases its work on the standards of the international scientific community. In its Board of Trustees meeting on June 27, 2022, the FWF approved numerous projects by researchers from the University of Innsbruck.

Sparkling science 2.0
The Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research is funding 34 innovative projects as part of the “Sparkling Science 2.0” research program. The aim is to strengthen cooperation between science, schools and society. To this end, the funding budget was increased by an additional EUR 2 million to a total of EUR 11.5 million. The implementation of Sparkling Science is carried out by the national education agency OeAD, which set the motto #youngsciencerocks in 2022.
