  • NWO Faculty of Impact

    Deadline: Wednesday 31 December 2025

    One of the ambitions of the Netherlands is to ensure that scientific research is used to address societal issues and realise economic growth. Many scientific discoveries do not reach the market, partly because researchers often lack the experience and knowledge needed to make an innovation market-ready and set up a commercial organisation. Therefore, the Faculty of Impact offers an intensive, two-year programme for scientists who want to make an impact with their research and start their own business.

You can also apply if you have recently created an independent, excellent research team and want to strengthen it.

    Researchers of any nationality with seven to twelve years of experience since the completion of their PhD, a scientific track record showing great promise, and an excellent research proposal can apply. The call is expected to open at the end of September.
