The Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO; {{lang-nl|Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek}} - Vlaanderen) is a Belgian public research council, based in Brussels. It aims to sponsor ground-breaking research and innovation. Much of this work involves supporting researchers and undertakings in association with the universities and institutes of Flanders, including Ghent University, University of Leuven, and Free University of Brussels, among others.[1]

History

The FWO is a successor to the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (NFWO/FNRS), which had been founded in 1928, after the call from King Albert I of Belgium for the promotion of research and innovation.

In 2006, the NFWO/FNRS divided into two organisations: the FWO, for the Flemish community, and the Fund for Scientific Research - Wallonia (F.R.S.-FNRS; {{lang-fr|Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique - FNRS}}) for the French-speaking region.[2] A self-governing organization, the Research Foundation – Flanders is located in Brussels and financed by the Flemish government, the federal government, and the national lottery, with further support coming from partner institutes and companies.

Function

The FWO supports research in science, engineering, and the humanities through a variety of frameworks.[3] It offers competitive funding for doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships as well as for research grants, specific projects, and infrastructure. Moreover, the FWO funds international mobility and collaboration. Together with a number of partners, it also bestows scientific prizes.[4]

Organisation

Regular funding

The FWO organises a total of 31 expert panels, 30 specialist and one interdisciplinary. These panels advise the Senate and the Board of Trustees on matters of funding.

Special committees

The NWO also organises special committees to advise on support for international collaboration, research infrastructure, and other special mandates.

International profile

The FWO is a member of Science Europe and collaborates in many European research organisations.[5][6]

In addition, it has created partnerships with numerous counterparts across the globe, such as the French Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), Dutch Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, and National Natural Science Foundation of China.[7]
