Results projects Strategic Basic Research 2024

The Strategic Basic Research (SBO) programme focuses on innovative research which, if scientifically successful, will create prospects for economic or societal applications (e.g., a new generation of products, processes and/or services). The SBO programme breaks down into two finality parts: an economic programme part for projects with primarily an economic finality (SBO-E) and a societal programme part for projects with primarily a societal finality (SBO-M).

For this call, there was an available budget of €37,889,236 (excluding 17% overhead). 75 SBO project proposals were submitted, including 42 with SBO-E finality and 33 with SBO-M finality. Of these, 17 (10 SBO-E and 7 SBO-M) could be awarded.
