Currently in the review phase.
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.
Current Call:
Special LIT Ars Electronica Call 2025
More information about this call is available at: LIT Sonder-Call: Ars Electronica Festival 2025 | Art x Science School for Transformation
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.
