The task of the FFG’s European and International Programmes is to strengthen Austria’s participation in programmes, initiatives and actions of European and international research and technology cooperation, especially in the EU Framework Programme.
FFG's European and International Programmes provide regular information about European programmes and initiatives to over 30,000 researchers, companies and institutions in Austria. Our experts hold an average of 6,500 advisory sessions on European RTI programmes every year.
- Our information, advisory and networking services are geared to Austrian companies, universities, research institutions and others interested in participating in European research initiatives. The range of services extends from project-specific support through to targeted assistance with strategic positioning in the European research and innovation environment. European background information and forward-looking information about developments in the European RTI programme environment are also part of our strategic support services.
