Funding, Grants & Competitions

  • NWO Vidi Grant 2023

    Deadline: Tuesday 26 March 2024

    Vidi is a funding instrument in the NWO Talent Programme. It allows researchers who have already spent several years doing postdoctoral research to develop their own innovative line of research, and to appoint one or more researchers for this.

    The Vidi target group consists of researchers in transition to leadership, i.e. ready for the establishment of a research group or the expansion of a recent research group. The Vidi can contribute to the researcher's development in this area. The Vidi grant is aimed at researchers with academic qualities that clearly exceed what is customary and demonstrate the development of leadership and mentorships skills.
    Preproposal deadline: 2 November 2023 14:00 hrs.

  • (New) CWI Research Semester Programmes 2025 - 2027

    Deadline: Thursday 27 June 2024

    CWI has formulated the ambition to facilitate and strengthen joint research activities of the Dutch mathematics and computer science communities by offering a meeting place for research and collaboration. CWI Research Semester Programmes aim to establish a common base for further scientific contributions, build and strengthen national research communities on specific topics, and allow researchers – junior and senior ­– to expand their network for further collaborative initiatives.

    We solicit proposals for CWI Research Semester Programmes for the period 2025-2027. CWI can accommodate two more programmes in 2025, and up to four in both 2026 and 2027. A CWI Research Semester Programme consists of a coherent set of meetings and activities in which researchers come together to collaborate on important or emerging research topics over a longer period, typically for the duration of a semester. The format of a programme is flexible. It may, for example, consist of a series of workshops, a school or masterclass for PhD students, a bootcamp, weekly or monthly seminars or a reading group.
