FWF - The Austrian Science Fund

The Austrian Science Fund (German: Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung, FWF) is the most important Austrian funding organization for basic research. The FWF supports research in biomedical sciences, natural sciences, and social sciences and the humanities through a large variety of grant programmes and prizes.

FWF is part of an Austrian national OAPEN consortium that consists of: Vienna University, Böhlau Verlag, Verlag Holzhausen, the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and the Austrian Science Fund.

FWF requires the deposition of book publications in the FWF E-book Library, from which works are harvested by OAPEN.
