Financial support for science promotion
Do you have an idea to get children, young people or the general public in Brussels interested in science and technology? Through our STEM programme (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics), your science promotion project can become a reality!
Due to the great interest in funding for our open call STEM program in Brussels, Innoviris received a large number of applications. In order to be able to answer all applications, we have decided to suspend the programme from 1/4/2023 to 31/5/2023. From 1/6/2023 it will again be possible to submit projects. Please keep in mind when preparing your possible applications that a project can never start before the official submission date. Please contact us if you have any further questions about this.
