Within the scope of its thematic programme on "Information and Communication Technologies" (ICTs), the WWTF aims to promote science that contributes to improve ICTs directly rather than applying ICTs to other disciplines. Projects may involve either information technologies or communication technologies or both. The projects should aim at studying substantial scientific issues tangential to ICTs which offer the prospect of medium-term utilisation and exploitation.
Current calls
WWTF received 99 short proposals for the Information and Communication Technology Call “Digital Humanism” in autumn 2020. An international jury selected 26 to be invited for submitting a full proposal until 28th of January 2021. The full proposals are now going into an international peer-review process by experts. The international jury will meet in spring for the selection of the projects to be funded. The funding decision will be announced in late May after the WWTF Board meetings.
