General Programmes (GP) • Objective • Strengthening the technological competitiveness of companies based in Austria • Broadening of the innovation base (attracting newcomers) • Funding model is based on • In-house project assessment and selection • Open call • Bottom-up (no thematic focus) www.ffg.at

  7. General Programmes (bottom up)

  8. Structural Programmes The Structural Programmes serve to optimise structures and infrastructures in research and innovation. This enables companies, research and transfer organisations to identify new methods of cooperation, to generate new knowledge and to establish new areas of strength. Competencies in science and business are improved and the Austrian innovation system is strengthened in the long term. www.ffg.at www.ffg.at
