CWI Research Semester Programmes 2025 - 2027
Deadline: Thursday 27 June 2024CWI 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.

UvA Data Science Centre Accelerate Programme 2024
Deadline: Monday 2 September 2024The UvA Data Science Centre (DSC) aims to accelerate data driven research within the
University of Amsterdam, to strengthen data science expertise across all faculties of UvA,
and promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and sharing of knowledge among the data
science community at UvA.
One of the mechanisms by which the DSC achieves this is through the Accelerate
programme. The Accelerate programme stimulates the hiring of data scientists and data
engineers within faculties through the provision of matching funding. This funding helps
support the costs of hiring a new or existing staff member in these roles.For more information, see https://dsc.uva.nl/programmes/accelerate-programme/accelerate-programme.html or contact dsc at uva.nl. -
Ammodo Science Fellowship 2024
Deadline: Friday 6 September 2024The Ammodo Science Fellowship is targeted at talented researchers at the beginning of their careers (0-5 years after receiving their first PhD). The Fellowship offers them the opportunity to do their own innovative scientific research at a university or research institution abroad and thereby expand their international network.
For more information, see https://ammodo-science-award.org/en/fellowship/?mc_cid=16968b3bcf or contact fellowship at ammodo.org. -
Insight into Educational Innovation 2024
Deadline: Tuesday 10 September 2024This grant round will fund research projects that foster knowledge and expertise on the working principles of educational innovation in higher education. Lecturers and researchers carry out the research jointly to increase the relevance of the research for educational practice and to the further professionalisation of those involved. Applicants must have a paid position for the duration of the project. A maximum of € 200.000.00 can be applied for in total. The minimum duration of the proposed project is 2 years, the maximum duration is 3 years. Intents can be submitted until 13 June 2024. Proposals must be submitted by 10 September 2024.
For more information, see https://www.nro.nl/en/calls/insight-into-educational-innovation-2024?utm_campaign=fgw_grantteam&utm_source=fgw_deployteq&utm_medium=email or contact Laura Toron at programmaraad at nro.nl. -
MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships
Deadline: Wednesday 11 September 2024The objective of PFs is to support researchers' careers and foster excellence in research. This action targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, disciplines and non-academic sectors. Fellowships can take place in Europe or in a Third Country not associated to Horizon Europe. The call will open on 23 April 2024. The (tentative) deadline is 11 September 2024.

NWA-ORC 2024
Deadline: Tuesday 1 October 2024The programme Research along Routes by Consortia aims to enable interdisciplinary research and innovation that brings scientific and societal breakthroughs within reach. Proposals should be submitted by a consortium in which various types of research in the knowledge chain are represented. The research question must be based on themes proposed by the NWA routes. A budget of 6.75 million euros is per theme reserved. The deadline for submitting a initiative was on 9 April 2024. Between 6 May and 21 June, NWO organises two consecutive workshops for each theme to bring researchers together to prepare a joint proposal. The deadline for submitting proposals is 1 October 2024.

NGF AiNed ELSA Labs
Deadline: Tuesday 1 October 2024The aim of this Call for proposals is to elicit projects that will help us acquire knowledge, expertise and insights for the development and application of human-centred AI. The overarching research question for the AiNed ELSA programme is: What can we learn from specific case studies that will help us acquire scalable and generalisable knowledge and insights for human-centred AI applications?

Students who are awarded the Helmut Veith Stipend receive EUR 7000 annually for a duration of up to two years, as well as a waiver of all tuition fees at TU Wien.For more information, see https://www.vcla.at/helmut-veith-stipend/ or contact Anna Prianichnikova at anna.prianichnikova at tuwien.ac.at. -
Open Science Meetings grants
Deadline: Thursday 12 December 2024The aim of this instrument is to allow open science communities to organise meetings on topics of common interest. Bottom-up support will benefit these communities and the connections between them by allowing open science practices to blossom and spread faster. Both researchers and research support staff may submit an application for financial support for organising an open science meeting.
