Application pressure, national budget cuts, FP10, economic sovereignty, dual use, AI - The funding landscape is changing. Add to this geopolitical instability, restrictions on collaboration with certain countries and companies, as well as a decline in academic freedom, and you might start to panic. In this recurring meeting we will update you again on the new policy developments that will be driving the research funding programmes in the next 5-7 years. This background information will be invaluable when setting out your strategy for the next five years as well as preparing applications to future calls.
This briefing is intended for mid-career and senior researchers, Institute management and research support staff.

Who's organising this event?
This event is organised by the Grant Development (GD) team at Luris, which is part of the Research Funding Support Community of the LRS network. Next to giving grant advice on proposals, an expert group of advisors of the RFSC follow the developments in the funding landscape closely and represent the university on influencing funders. They also work closely together with colleagues from Luris and SAZ, who also talk to funders, the government and other stakeholders on research & innovation policy.
