Weave funds fundamental research through joint proposals between a Belgian research team and one or more partner teams in another European country or region, with FWO acting as a partner funder rather than lead. Researchers in Belgium looking to formalise an existing or planned cross-border collaboration should apply, provided the lead partner organisation runs a matching call in its own country. FWO calls annually, and applicants should check which side is currently open before applying.
