- Your application is submitted to the International Collaboration Committee (CIWC) that will decide on its approval or not.
Selection
- Quality of the proposed research and added value of the chosen Flemish research group.
- Intrinsic need/added value of the proposed stay for the inviting research group in Flanders (host) as well as for the progress of the proposed research and the applicant’s research career.
- Scientific achievements of the applicant to date, taking the specificity of the field and scientific seniority into account.
Evaluation
- Beneficiaries must submit a detailed scientific report on their stay to the FWO within three months upon their return from Belgium.
