Services for researchers

Funding advice – WISS and more

The aim of Science and Innovation Strategy Salzburg (WISS) is to promote research and technology transfer. The associated service centre, which advises companies on WISS funding and provides implementation support, is based at Innovation Salzburg. Funding for useful research is also available at federal and EU levels. We advise and support researchers with all aspects of their projects – from development, to optimum funding, through to successful implementation.
