Are you considering applying for the Strategic Basic Research (SBO) program from FWO? Join us on May 7, 2025, at the VUB Main Campus (Etterbeek) for an info session to get a head start on your SBO proposal! With limited time between the call opening and the September deadline, VUB TechTransfer is hosting this early session to help you prepare effectively.
The SBO program funds innovative research which, if scientifically succesful, will create prospects for economic or societal applications. This program breaks down into two finality parts: projects with a societal finality or projects with an economic finality. The projects with economic finality can be aimed at valorization in existing companies or towards a spin-off. During the info session, we will share practical insights, tips & tricks, and explain how VUB TechTransfer can support your application for this call.
This info session is aimed at researchers from VUB, UZB and EhB.
