Carinthian Innovation and Research Award 2027: Submit your research projects by 28 January!
Highlighting research and bringing innovations from Carinthia into the spotlight: The Carinthian Economic Development Fund (KWF) is once again announcing the 2027 Innovation and Research Award of the State of Carinthia. This offers our researchers a great opportunity to present innovative research achievements and their practical applications to a broad public.
In the “Research Institutions” category, completed or nearly completed industry-oriented research projects may be submitted. A market launch does not need to have already taken place. The key criteria are innovative results, scientific quality, and a clearly recognizable practical benefit.
Why is it worth submitting an entry?
All 30 projects under consideration will be featured on the KWF’s website and social media channels. In addition, the innovation event on June 17, 2027, will provide a platform to showcase research achievements and establish contacts with companies, policymakers, and potential collaboration partners.
Even without winning an award, a submission thus makes a valuable contribution to the visibility of our research and to strengthening knowledge transfer in Carinthia.
