The administration of Stand-Alone Projects will switch over to PROFI starting March 20, 2023. This means that from that point on, funding applications will be submitted by research institutions rather than by individual researchers (a switch from §26 to §27 of the Universities Act). With this step, the FWF’s largest funding program will be in line with the other funding programs already operating in PROFI mode. This change applies only to new applications; previously submitted proposals and current projects are not affected.
Please note that applications submitted to elane in the ad personam format will no longer be processed after March 20, 2023.
