Foundation prioritizing

In considering applications for projects in developing countries, the Board will be prioritizing projects that beyond a local impact have the potential to document longterm practical value, and stimulate developments also in other regions/countries through publication of results in peer reviewed journals.

Project relating to education and implementation will have particular relevance.

The Board is likely to focus on relatively few projects, and prefer projects than can leverage new initiatives with support also from other sources. Practical experience of the applicant(s) to deal with the special challenges typically found in developing countries, and a strong commitment for participation also from local partners, are other factors that will be considered.

The deadline is April 1 of each year.
