About WWTF

The Vienna Science and Technology Fund WWTF derives its promotion strategy from the context of the Austrian science and research scene, as well as the special position held by Vienna as the capital of Austrian research.

The WWTF contributes to:

• establishing and fostering critical mass for Vienna as a research location,
• the intense networking of research institutions and groups in Vienna, especially within the scope of international partnerships,
• implementing mid-range utilisation and exploitation potentials for Vienna as a business location, and
• strengthening the anchor functions of research facilities for research-intensive businesses in Vienna.

In choosing its thematic programmes and selecting projects for funding, the WWTF gives consideration to the extent to which such projects will help reinforce Vienna’s strengths and make a relevant contribution to the interests of Vienna and its region.
