Clusters of Excellence (COE) are the first of three pillars of the excellent=austria funding initiative to strengthen Austria’s position as a top location for research within the international scientific community. The dimension and scope of the research conducted in a cluster go far beyond what was previously possible within the FWF’s existing programme portfolio.
COEs have an impact beyond the realm of science and actively pursue the exchange of knowledge and technology through cooperation with social and/or economic partners. Thus, to achieve the programme’s objectives, synergies should be developed between world-class research, research-based education, the promotion of young researchers, (inter-) national networks, and the transfer of knowledge.
