BRIDGE
Funds Austrian science-industry consortia transferring basic research toward industrial applications.
BRIDGE is a grant run by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), the national body that funds company and research-institute R&D in Austria. It sits in FFG’s BRIDGE programme, whose job is to carry early research toward practical industrial use — the bridge between a university lab and a usable product.
The grant pays up to 80 percent of a project’s eligible costs, and those eligible costs …
Open-topic industrial research and technology transfer projects between scientific institutions and companies.
