For decades, the FWF, a key funding organization, has stood for the highest possible standards of quality in promoting science across all fields of research. Strengthening Austria as an international scientific location is just as important as expanding our knowledge-based society and communicating between all areas of cultural, economic, and social life.

Putting this mission into focus, the FWF’s 2016 annual report has been reinvented in terms of content, strategy, and visibility. Research is more than just data, numbers, and facts, and is every bit as diverse as it is surprising. Hiding behind every door readers find a story worth telling, accompanied with a wink and a smile by charming illustrations. Everyday issues are questioned, boundaries are tested, all without losing sight of the essentials. It’s poetic, funny, fresh, and flexible.
