FWO offers researchers from Flanders a daily living allowance of € 66 (or max. €1,650 per month) on top of the travel expenses towards/from Brazil, to be booked through a travel agency authorized by the FWO.

Applications can be submitted from the 30^th of July 2019 till the 28^th of October 2019 (at FWO: 5 pm Belgian time).

Project proposals have to be submitted simultaneously at FWO by a research group from Flanders and at FAPESP by a research group from the State of São Paulo (Brazil).
