FIS – Italian Fund for Science

The Italian Science Fund (FIS) is an initiative of the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) aimed at promoting and funding basic research in Italy. Its main objective is to support research projects with high scientific potential, led by independent researchers (Principal Investigators—PIs) and their teams. The FIS is modeled after the European Research Council (ERC), funding innovative and ambitious ideas across all fields of knowledge.
