About this opportunity

The FRIPRO Researcher Project for Experienced Scientists is a funding program aimed at renewal and development in research that can contribute to advancing the international research frontier. The call is directed towards experienced researchers who have demonstrated the ability to conduct research of high scientific quality. The program is open to applications within all disciplines and research areas. FRIPRO supports groundbreaking research with the potential for significant advances in the field, even if it carries substantial risk of not succeeding. The program does not require demonstrated potential for societal impacts, focusing primarily on scientific quality. Competition is intense, with a qualification threshold requiring grades of 6 or 7 on all evaluation criteria. The program operates with rolling submissions and processing, allowing researchers to submit applications at any time as long as they do not have waiting periods or quarantine restrictions.
