FFG

The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is the main Austrian organisation for promotion of research and innovation.

The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) offers advice, support and promotion for research and innovation projects. In this way, the FFG plays an important role in achieving goals, both research and political, defined by Austria and the European Union.

FFG services:

• Funding of research projects

• Advice on selecting the right funding programme

• Support in:

- Realising international cooperation projects

- Activities in the field of Space

- Cooperation between Science and Economy

- Exploitation of research results

The FFG primarily promotes economic-related research. However, its services are open to all organisations and are free of charge.

The total funding budget of FFG in 2005 is about € 354 million. FFG has about 180 employees and assumes the legal succession of FFF, TIG, ASA and BIT and therefore notably replace the former organisations in all contractual matters arising from all our engagements in the national and international fields.
