Flagship projects
The primary aims of flagship projects should be to produce excellent scientific achievements, reach high international visibility and build a basis for follow-up FWF-funded or EU-funded network projects in one or more of the four BioTechMed-Graz research areas. The flagship projects are selected in an international peer-review process.
