Selection and decision process

Applications must be submitted via the online Funding Portal at the deadline indicated in the call specifications. Submissions after the deadline will not be considered. The following section explains the processes in more detail.

• The core element of WWTF’s decision making processes is an international jury mandated to provide a funding recommendation to the WWTF boards.
• Depending on the scope of the call, the jury is comprised of 5-8 outstanding international experts who have no current affiliation to an Austrian institution.
• Jury members are selected by WWTF prior to the submission deadline according to their expertise with regard to the call topic, and after a conflict-of-interest check. For details see section on reviewers below.
• Members of the jury will be published after the WWTF Board of Directors’ formal funding decision.
• Please note that WWTF does not allow for rebuttals to recommendations by the jury panel or decisions by the WWTF Board of Directors.
