Sponsors
FRO awards grants are made possible through donations and contributions of scientific societies managed by the UZA Foundation or Foundations such as the Ligue Braille Foundation, Fund John W. Mouton Pro Retina & the Fund Marie-Claire Liénaert, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation. The grants allocated can only be used by the researcher. We therefore would like to emphasize that no institutional overhead costs may be deducted from these grants.
Reasonable management costs from the finance department are acceptable.
