Tips for Applicants
- ✓Consortium definition is strict: groups must be from different public institutions, single-institution multi-group proposals are ineligible.
- ✓Clarify the common research theme early in your pre-submission contact with FWO; thematic coherence is a key evaluation axis.
- ✓Allocate GPU hours strategically; the 40k GPU hour limit is tighter than core hours, detail the computational bottleneck in your application.
