Call closed
Eligible beneficiaries/users
Researchers from the Slovak-Austrian cross-border region (Niederösterreich, Wien, Nord- and Mittelburgenland, Bratislavský kraj, Trnavský kraj) working at:
- Universities and research institutes
- Small/Medium size enterprises
- Start-Ups
Selection process
The selection process is composed of two steps:
• Technical feasibility – The leading scientists of the CAPSID project at VBCF and BMC judge the technical feasibility of the submitted research project at their facilities (YES/NO decision).
• Financial feasibility – For each access, only a limited amount of support can be provided with respect to the total budget dedicated to the project. Financial feasibility will be evaluated and negotiated individually for each proposal.
All received project proposals to be implemented at BMC/VBCF will be forwarded to the selection process immediately. If the proposals are evaluated positively, the applicants are invited to bring their samples to the facility.
Deadlines and funding
The call is open from now on until the capacity for open accesses is depleted. All projects must be implemented by 30 June 2021.
Project proposals that successfully pass through the selection procedure will be supported by CAPSID project funded via the EU programme Interreg V-A Slovakia – Austria.
Use of the research infrastructures and interpretation of the obtained results is provided for free. The users are obliged to provide his/her own samples in a sufficient quality. The grant does not cover travel or accommodation expenses.
⇒ Fill in the application form and send it to michaela.thoss@vbcf.ac.at. State “Capsid open access proposal” in the subject line.
