CERN personnel have until 13 July/8 August to apply for two funds to help them develop their projects.

The CERN Knowledge Transfer fund provides funding for projects with high potential for impact outside high-energy physics. It aims to bridge the gap between research and industry, and to support the projects most likely to benefit society.

The Medical Applications budget supports projects specifically related to medical applications. CERN personnel working with CERN technologies, which could have potential applications in the medical field, can apply for grants to purchase material or to fund Early Career Researchers.

Since the launching of these funding mechanisms, 90 projects have been funded, creating opportunities for the transfer of CERN technology and know-how to diverse technological fields in healthcare, quantum, digital, environment, and aerospace. 

Please remember that for the Medical Applications budget, you have to present the project at a CERN MAPF meeting before submission.

Application deadlines

KT fund: 8 August 2022.
MA budget: MAPF presentation 13 July 2022, Application 8 August 2022.
 

The selection committee will take place on 22 September 2022.
