From December 19, 2024, until February 25, 2025, applications are invited to Call for Exploratory Research Projects in all Scientific Fields 2024.

The aim of this Call is to fund exploratory projects (PEX) in all scientific fields, with a special focus on innovative proposals aimed at researchers at the start of their careers, or original ideas and concepts that have a high degree of novelty and show the potential to disrupt previous work by more experienced researchers.

The planned duration of the projects to be developed is 18 months, and the maximum funding to be awarded has been increased from 50,000 euros to 60,000 euros per project, without reducing the total number of projects to be funded.
