The Tyrolean state government provides an additional and easily accessible funding opportunity for researchers working at the MUI.

The R&D-related funding programs offered by the Tyrolean state government can be divided into two different categories:  Technology Funding Programs and Science Funding.

These initiatives are important under technology funding programmes: digitization funding, innovation funding und K-Regio.

The province offers the following opportunities in the area of science and research funding: Tyrolean science funding, Tyrolean young researchers funding, dissertation program for Tyrolean universities and funding for publications, events, conferences, etc

The Tyrolean Medical Research Fund (MFF Tirol) was founded by the state of Tyrol and the Tyrolean clinics in order to safeguard the high standard of medicine in Tyrol for the future.

The MFF provides our doctors and scientists at the university hospitals with their own financial pillar, which makes them at least partially independent of other research funds and public money.

Funding is available for, among other things Innovative projects, pilot projects, projects that serve to improve the scientific infrastructure, projects that serve to establish or expand scientific collaborations, projects that require a funding impetus but promise to exist independently at a later date.

Applied research requires coordinated cooperation between science and industry. The Standortagentur Tirol supports researchers at universities and R&D institutions in this cooperation with a comprehensive service package: networking, innovation, start-ups, funding etc.
