                                       The FWO participates with its (junior/senior) ‘research projects’ funding channel, which
                                       implies that these specific regulations apply:
      Eligible Applicants
                                       See articles 10-12 (in essence this comes down to holding an eligible ‘ZAP-position’ at a
                                       Flemish, eligible main host institution.)
                                       FWO (sub)projects are capped at max. 350.000 EUR per project/consortium (incl. 6%
                                       overhead). In total, the FWO foresees a budget of 700.000 EUR, which allows funding 2-
                                       3 projects. For the overhead calculation the following method has to be respected: a 6%
                                       structural overhead should be calculated on the direct costs. E.g.: the sum of all costs
                                       (personnel, consumables, travel, etc.) amount to 300.000 EUR, then the overhead will
         Eligible Costs                amount to 18.000 EUR (6% of 300.000 EUR) and the total requested cost 318.000 EUR.
                                       This total requested cost may never exceed 350.000 EUR.

                                              Total Amount for the Call                       Maximum Amount Per Proposal

                                       at maximum when applying for FWO funding, within the same call.
    Other Funding Criteria
                                       Researchers are asked to inform their central coordination unit, at their host institution,
                                       about their participation.
                                       Projects may last up to 36 months, which implies the funding has to be budgeted and
                                       spent accordingly. Extensions are not allowed.

                                                                                                                                  4

                                  Make sure that all consortium partners go thoroughly through the call documents
                                  and national regulations.
                                  It is advised to contact the FWO before submission (see contact point
                                  above), in order to avoid ineligible projects and consortia.
  Additional Info                 ERA-NET participation does not interfere with the ‘regular’ project submission
                                  framework, and is consequently not taken into account for calculating the max. available
                                  number of new applications and running projects combined.

                                 To be eligible, the proposals must not be judged as similar with another
                                 proposal.
                                 The similarity between two Projects is established when these Projects (in their
                                 entirety or in part) describe identical main objectives or result from a simple

                                 will be asked to make a declaration on potential utilisation of genetic resources during
                                 their projects.
                                 DDDs for research work can be submitted online using the special application on the
