Consortia Building

Build interdisciplinary consortia that combine complementary expertise to create competitive, collaborative research teams.

Vienna's ME/CFS research community is smaller than other scientific disciplines, but this creates unique opportunities for collaboration. The previous ME/CFS 2024 - Understanding ME/CFS call successfully funded seven projects by combining established researchers with newcomers to the field - demonstrating first synergies across different fields.

For this call, we strongly encourage:

• Interdisciplinary consortia that leverage complementary expertise across different research areas
• International collaboration by including researchers and groups from other countries who bring essential skills or resources
• Community building by welcoming new researchers who want to contribute to ME/CFS research
