About the funding programme

The research funding programme “International Communication” of the Austrian Research Association complements the opportunities provided by universities and project funding institutions across Austria with regard to travel funds for trips abroad and for inviting researchers to Austria.

Funding is primarily intended for young scholars whose previous achievements are of high quality and who are unable to receive sufficient funding from other organisations for formal reasons or due to exhaustion of funds.

When assessing submitted applications, we pay particular attention to previous publications of the applicant(s) in peer-reviewed international journals, their involvement in projects, their contribution in the presented work, and their commitment to the responsible use of funding resources.

The Austrian Research Association can only award one substantial grant per person and year.
