The aim of this call for Austrian-Chinese Cooperative R&D Projects is to support the jointly identified research topic nanotechnology with mutual interests and scientific excellence based on the existing cooperation agreement between the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
FFG is prepared to provide financial support for selected Cooperative R&D Project for max. 3 years. The total call budget for the Austrian project partners is EUR 1 million (equivalent to around CNY 8.3 million). The funding amount for Austrian partners must be between EUR 100,000 and 1.000,000 (equivalent to around CNY 8.3 million) per project. The budget provided by FFG can only be used to cover costs related to the project parts carried out by the Austrian project partners. The funding regulations for Austrian project partners are laid down in the respective call documents.
The call starts on 19 January 2015.
An overview of previous calls under the RTI Initiative “Production of the Future” is provided here.
