NWO Open Mind

NWO domain TTW ('Toegepaste en Technische Wetenschappen', meaning 'Applied and Engineering Sciences') invites scientists to submit out-of-the-box research ideas that contribute to sustainable solutions for global societal challenges (along the line with people, planet, profit).

At the NWO domain TTW annual conference that will be held on November 9th 2017, NWO domain TTW provides a platform to scientists to discuss global challenges through creativity, passion, and their knowledge of technology. To support scientists to realise their ambition in solving and/or contributing to these global challenges, NWO domain TTW has a total budget of 250,000 euro available. Five Open Mind grants, with a maximum of 50,000 euro (inclusive of Dutch VAT) each and for a period of one year, will be awarded at the NWO domain TTW annual conference 2017 to the best ideas with significant societal impact
