Description
The General Science Promotion of Lower Austria supports research projects with financial contributions and is aimed at organizers of scientific events whose projects take place in Lower Austria or are of particular interest to the federal state. Funding is provided to natural and legal persons from the private and public sectors – ranging from companies and foundations to educational institutions as well as non-profit organizations and interest groups. The funding is granted as a subsidy and can be applied for continuously, ensuring flexibility in planning. The focus is on the implementation of regionally relevant research objectives to strengthen scientific exchange and innovation capacity in Lower Austria.
For a successful application, a detailed project description, a comprehensible budget including an income-expenditure statement, and proof of legal form are essential. A written request using the official form, complete disclosure of all project data, and a handwritten signature constitute the formal prerequisites. Additionally, the Department of Science and Research requires a transparent presentation of the cost structure and a realistic financing plan. After reviewing the funding requirements, the decision on the amount of the subsidy is made based on the regional relevance and the achievement of objectives in the field of science and research.
