Welcome to Research Funding Europe!
We inform research groups about upcoming calls from Horizon Europe’s first pillar “Excellent Science”, advise them on their European funding strategy and on incentives from VUB’s Research Council. We support researchers from concept development to application phase until project implementation and closing.
Within the R&D department, we act as a liaison between the VUB research community and the European Commission and aim at a strong positioning of the VUB. We provide policy updates about the EU funding landscape, the European Research Area, Open Science policies, Gender and diversity, Sustainability and other European R&I priorities.
We take an active part in the research initiatives of the EUTOPIA European alliance of universities.
