The Foundation does not specify a list of activities which may be covered by the programme, but considers each application individually. What is assessed above all is the purposefulness of the application and its scientific, social or technical values.
Another important criterion is the importance of the initiative in question for the scientific community.
The programme does not include financing for purchases or repairs of research equipment or the financing and modernization of laboratories. Funds are available for these purposes under other programmes of the Foundation. Initiatives submitted to the programme must also beconsistent with the general principles on financing adopted by FNP.
