Maximum flexibility and the freedom to implement pioneering projects in all disciplines of basic research, working closely with project partners abroad – the FWF’s Principal Investigator Projects International program offers researchers a largely thematically open funding opportunity covering a wide range of individual requirements. It provides principal investigators and their research groups with the resources they need to work together with international project partners to investigate key research questions over a period of several years.

Link up with scientists from abroad!

Submission deadline: Anytime (at least 4 months in advance)

The Scientific Exchanges funding scheme is aimed at researchers planning to organise a scientific event in Switzerland, invite colleagues from abroad for a research visit to Switzerland, or visit their colleagues abroad.

The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) at UC Berkeley has for over two decades facilitated the dissemination of research on Taiwan through conferences, workshops, lectures, and publications. Keeping in that vein, IEAS, with generous support from the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in San Francisco, hosts the U.S.-Taiwan-European Next Generation Working Group (formerly the U.S.-Taiwan Next Generation Working Group).
