Eligibility & scope
Bottom-up cross-European initiative supporting excellent collaborative fundamental research projects across national/regional borders; FWO participates as partner alongside a lead partner organisation abroad.
Who Should Apply
- •Researchers based at a Flemish (Belgium) academic or research institution
- •Project leaders or senior co-investigators ready to establish cross-border research collaborations
- •Teams with confirmed partners from at least one other participating European country
- •All research disciplines eligible
Key Dates
- •Annual call; specific deadlines vary by lead agency and country, check the Weave portal for your project's lead agency deadline
- •Consortium required: collaborators from at least one other European country must be named at submission
- •Project duration and funding amount determined by lead agency
Tips for Applicants
- ✓Weave is bottom-up and multidisciplinary, avoid framing your project as answering a pre-set priority; instead emphasise its scientific excellence and international significance.
- ✓The lead agency is in another country, not Flanders, clarify roles between the Flemish applicant and the lead investigator in the governance section; FWO panels scrutinise this boundary.
- ✓Secure letters of commitment from all international partners before submission; preliminary interest is insufficient for a competitive Weave proposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Weave and how does it differ from other collaborative funding calls?
Weave is a Science Europe bottom-up initiative for cross-border research collaborations. Unlike calls with thematic priorities, Weave funds any excellent research provided the project involves consortia across national borders and each partner applies through their own national or regional agency.
Can I apply to Weave as a Flemish researcher?
Yes, if you are based at a Flemish research institution. FWO is the partner agency for Flanders; you apply through FWO and must coordinate with a lead agency in another participating country.
Does my project need an international partner to apply for Weave?
Yes, a consortium with collaborators from at least one other participating European country is mandatory. The lead investigator is typically based in a different country than the FWO-affiliated applicant.
When is the Weave deadline for FWO applicants?
Deadlines are set by the lead agency and vary by participating country. Check the Weave portal and FWO website for the next call opening and the deadline that applies to your project's lead agency.
