The Audacious Medical Grant Oncology (AMG-Onco) Call is Open

The Audacious Medical Grant (AMG) is a funding tool financed by private donations and bequests received by the FNRS.

It supports medical or biomedical research projects that are original, audacious, and creative but do not find support in traditional funding channels due to a lack of preliminary data, absence of prior work, or an unconventional methodology.
 
The AMG-ONCO is not a funding instrument dependent on Télévie, but the FNRS uses the expertise of its Scientific Committee to evaluate the submitted projects. Therefore, there is no overlap between the AMG-ONCO 2026 call and the Télévie 2026 call.
 
This call covers all areas of oncology and all approaches (biomedical research, clinical research, epidemiological research, public health…). The submitted project must aim to:
  • Improve the understanding of the mechanisms leading to cancer development, and/or
  • Develop new therapeutic avenues, and/or
  • Improve cancer prevention or detection.
The AMG-ONCO 2025 call is open until February 18, 2026.

Invitation to a Virtual Information Session on Monday, 23 February 2026, at 2:00 p.m. (CET) Weave – Research funding without borders

 Organised jointly by the Fund for Scientific Research – FNRS (F.R.S.-FNRS) and the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).

 
The European Weave initiative (https://weave-research.net/) was launched in December 2020 by European funding bodies with the aim of supporting excellent cross-border collaborative research projects. By submitting proposals to a single evaluation process, Weave seeks to simplify the submission and selection procedures for collaborative research proposals involving researchers from up to three European countries or regions.
 
The information session aims to address the following questions:
What is Weave and how does it work in practice? How can Weave facilitate scientific collaboration between researchers from the Wallonia–Brussels Federation and Flanders? What other bilateral and trilateral collaborations are possible within the Weave framework? What are the conditions, procedures and deadlines to be respected?
 
We invite you to the virtual information session that will take place on 23 February 2026 starting at 2:00 p.m. (CET), during which the FWO and the F.R.S.-FNRS will present the collaboration opportunities within the Weave initiative and answer your questions during a Q&A session.
 
 
You will receive the specific Zoom webinar link a few days before the information session.
