The Guide on Funding Instruments for Marine Research and Innovation Projects has been launched on the VLIZ Young Marine Scientists' Day 2015 (20th February). This publication (currently only available in Dutch) overviews the most relevant funding channels for marine research and innovation projects on a European, federal and Flemish level. A factsheet is created for each funding instrument and informs the reader about the budget, the time period, previous funding instruments, the geographical reach, the target group, marine components, the legal basis and the website. Additionally, an abstract elaborates on the general aims and the marine components of the respective instrument (if applicable). The reader can further inform him/herself by clicking the hyperlink towards the website of the funding channel (webpage dealing with calls, Belgian/Flemish contact points, etc.).
