Best Practice
Applications for public funding of Industrial Collective Research (IGF) projects can only be submitted by the members of the Association of Industrial Research Associations - AiF. These are industrial research associations such as the FVV, in which companies from specific industry sectors or fields of technology have joined forces for joint research. Companies or research and technology (RTD) performers may submit proposals for Collective Research projects to these non-profit research associations.
We are happy to provide our FVV member companies and research institutions in the below download area with guidelines, documents and templates for the IGF project administration. Please note that unsolicited applications submitted by non-members, such as project ideas, can neither be accepted nor answered.
