Network profile

An IAP is an interuniversity network of scientific teams conducting basic research in any scientific domain.

Composition

Each network comprises at least four partners belonging to different Belgian institutions (universities or federal scientific institutions).

Each network includes at least one partner belonging to each of the two main Belgium’s linguistic communities (the Flemish and the French-speaking Community).

The promoter of a university team acts as co-ordinator for the network.

Budget

A minimum funding for each network is set at 2.5 million EUR for the 5-year period.

The minimum funding over the five years is set at 800,000 EUR for the coordinators and at 400,000 EUR for the partners.

European partnership

The networks have the possibility of developing European partnerships with non-Belgian universities or public research institutions in the European Union
