The FNR is pleased to communicate the results of the 2017 OPEN Call for proposals: 3 of 6 eligible projects have been retained for funding, an FNR commitment of 1.3 MEUR.
The OPEN programme provides funding for a limited number of high quality research projects in areas that are currently not covered by the FNR’s thematic CORE programme. It aims at supporting established researchers to pursue innovative research projects of high scientific quality in emerging research areas in Luxembourg. In order to identify the most excellent projects, the FNR submits project proposals to an assessment by independent international experts. Among the 6 project proposals that were submitted, 3 have been selected for funding. Of the Principal Investigators (PIs) on the funded projects, 1 is female and 2 are male.
