HFRI Science and Society

The Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation's Science and Society program funds public engagement and science outreach work through themed calls. Each round is framed around a specific topic, so the program is less a standing theme and more a recurring national call series that changes focus from year to year. The most recent sixth call carried a €1 million budget and ran from October to December 2024. The program is open to non-profit bodies, universities, and research organisations in Greece, with Greek and English documentation accepted. Some editions have been co-funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and the sixth call's nutritional-awareness topic shows how narrowly each round can be framed. The best fit is for organizations that can translate research into public-facing activity with a clear thematic hook. Strong applications should match the call topic closely and show why the outreach work is credible, timely, and likely to reach a real audience rather than simply restating research results.
