<8eec32adb2eb2ae18e89e2fd663ccda0@ccl.kuleuven.be> Message-ID: Dag Vincent, Helaas financiert het FWO 'om budgettaire redenen' de laatste jaren geen projecten meer in het kader van de chist-era calls (het FNRS dan weer wel - vandaar dat Belgi? op de lijst staat). Jammer, want het is op zich een mooi lightweight fundingkanaal voor onderzoeksprojecten met kleinere internationale consortia. Vriendelijke groeten, Paul ---- Prof. dr.
