About Us – FFG as National Contact Point

Flags of Europa and Austria
The Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG acts as the National Contact Point (NCP) for the European research and innovation programmes. Our key task is to support applicants from science and industry who wish to participate in these programmes. In our capacity as National Contact Point we act in close cooperation with the EU Commission and with national partners and clients.

The FFG provides all Austrian National Contact Points (NCPs) for Horizon Europe and supports you in realising your project ideas at EU level.
