Wiener Wissenschafts-, Forschungs- und Technologiefonds (Vienna Science and Technology Fund)
Vienna is well on its way to becoming a very dynamic research location, with about half of all Austrian research being performed here. One internationally visible example is the clustering of leading life sciences research institutions in the "Dr. Bohrgasse," the Vienna Biocenter . Mathematics is another field in which researchers are gaining international visibility. The Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF ), a private nonprofit funding organization established to promote high quality science and research in Vienna, tries to enhance this reputation by promoting research in promising thematic priority areas such as the Life Sciences, Applied Mathematics, Information and Communication Technology, and Science for Creative Industries. A more recent focus of WWTF's funding activities is to explicitly promote promising young researchers. While a WWTF project must have a Viennese home institution, up to 20 percent of the funding may be spent outside of Vienna, thus promoting and supporting collaborations between Viennese scientists and international researchers.
