Preamble
The new programme of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) financed by the Fonds Zukunft Österreich (Nationalstiftung für Forschung, Technologie und Entwicklung) serves to promote data‐based research (microdata research) in Austria. In 2022, research on register data was made possible by legal provisions and the establishment of the Austrian Micro Data Centre (AMDC) at Statistics Austria. The funding programme of the Austrian Academy of Sciences provides a significant impulse to data-driven research in Austria by supporting valuable research on these new data sources. Funding is provided for projects at Austrian research institutions that open up existing AMDC data sets or comparable official statistical administrative data (registers, panels, surveys etc.) for extended empirical-quantitative applications and questions in the field of social science research. Promotion of young scientists is of great importance to the Austrian Academy of Sciences as part of the funding programme.
The selection process is international; the application and assessment will be done in English.
