Welcome to WWTF
The Wiener Wissenschafts-, Forschungs- und Technologiefonds (Vienna Science and Technology Fund) is a non-profit organisation established to promote science and research in Vienna. The Fund’s funding tools and methods are designed to strengthen top research in Vienna. Some of its calls are explicitly directed at promoting promising young scientists.
The WWTF obtains its funds from the “Privatstiftung zur Verwaltung von Anteilsrechten”, a private foundation in the financial sector which was set up in order to manage equity interests.
Preannouncement: WWTF will open a pilot call in the new field of „Environmental Systems Research: Urban Environments“ in autumn 2016. Details will follow shortly.
Final Symposium - WWTF Diversity & Identity Projects 2010/2011 on November 15./16, 2016 in Vienna. Event details.
