On November 4, the FWF updated the application guidelines for its funding programs with adjustments in the following areas:

CO₂ compensation for project-specific air travel will no longer be eligible for funding for all projects approved after September 30, 2024.
Repairs for project-specific equipment available at the research institution and in need of repair will be eligible for funding. The prerequisite for eligibility is that the equipment may not be part of the research institution’s general infrastructure and is not used for other purposes.
Minor changes have been made to how previous research achievements should be presented in researchers’ CVs and the formal application criteria have been explained more clearly.
