LIT Calls.

The Linz Institute of Technology (LIT) announces a bi-annual "Call for Proposals" in support of cutting-edge research. Projects may be submitted in different project categories.


There are also special calls featuring specific objectives.

Special LIT Ars Electronica Call 2025

The 3rd LIT Invest Call in Support of Cutting-Edge Research

Submission deadline: January 10, 2025

A new LIT Special Call aims to fund groundbreaking research. The submitted proposals are not intended to fund "traditional" research projects, but rather this LIT Invest Call's main objective is to fund, co-finance, or provide add-on funding in support of research infrastructure, meaning additional facilities to be used in support of multidisciplinary research at the JKU.
