NAWI Graz Joint Research Projects

Inter-university research projects have a long tradition and were an essential basis for the initiation of NAWI Graz. In the course of further development, an increasing focus has been placed on such projects in order to be able to develop innovations at the interface between basic and application-orientated research in the best possible way.

The success of the NAWI Graz departments in research is impressively demonstrated by the development of third-party funding income, which has more than doubled since 2006. Both universities rely on the support of inter-university collaborative research projects such as FWF DK/doc.funds or FWF SFB. These projects are evaluated according to very strict criteria, have a longer-term focus and bring together several researchers from both universities.

Examples of such NAWI Graz collaborative projects are (mentioned are exclusively large-scale projects in which NAWI Graz researchers from both universities are involved. In addition, there are of course other large-scale projects at the respective university or with partners from other research institutions):


Current Projects
FWF Cluster of Excellence Circular Bioengineering (Lead: Boku Wien, NAWI Graz-Partners Wolfgang Kroutil, Uni Graz and Bernd Nidetzky, TU Graz)
Duration: Dec. 2024 - Nov. 2029

FWF doc.funds Discrete Mathematics in Teams (Lead: TU Graz, NAWI Graz-Partners: Michael Kerber, TU Graz and Alfred Geroldinger)
Duration: Oct. 2024 - Sept. 2028
 


Completed Projects:

By involving doctoral students in research projects, there is a close link between joint research and joint doctoral training within the framework of the Graz Advanced School of Science (GASS).
