Research projects of relevant national interest (PRIN)
The PRIN program (Research Projects of National Relevant Interest) aims to secure funding for public research projects. Its primary objective is to promote the strengthening of national scientific foundations and facilitate greater engagement in initiatives linked to the European Union Framework Programs.
To achieve this goal, the PRIN program provides financial support for projects that, by their very complexity and nature, necessitate the collaboration of multiple professors or researchers. These projects often require funding beyond what individual institutions can typically provide.
Currently, there are no ongoing calls for proposals.
The Ministry of University and Research (MUR) has published the PRIN PNRR 2022 call for proposals (Directorate Decree No. 1409 of September 14, 2022). Project proposals could be submitted from October 18th, 2022, to November 30th, 2022 (by 3:00 p.m.).
