The IAP programme is aimed at giving temporary impulsion and at creating interuniversity high level networks in fundamental research. The choice of these networks was made following concerted deliberations between the universities and the public administration after expert evaluation.
The programme has multiple objectives :
- providing advanced research teams with a critical mass of additional human and material resources;
- supporting these teams over a sufficiently long period (during 5 years);
- developing or creating collaboration between teams from different universities active in the same or similar fields;
- enhancing the complementarity and interdisciplinarity between these teams;
- stimulating contacts between universities from different Communities;
- inserting Belgian teams into European or international research networks.
35 networks are operational at present, with about 154 research teams.
The research networks can be classified into different categories: biology, medicine, chemistry, physics, applied sciences, historical sciences, social sciences and humanities.
