AiNed XS Europe call
The AiNed Programme aims to strengthen the AI knowledge and innovation base in the Netherlands. An important aspect of this is the connectedness of Dutch researchers worldwide, and especially in Europe. The aim of the AiNed XS Europe Programme is therefore to stimulate European research cooperation with influential partner organizations in AI. Here, project proposals are eligible that address fundamental or applied groundbreaking AI research challenges in sections 3 and 4 of the national AI research agenda AIREA-NL.

(New) QAL Open Call for Quantum Application Development
Deadline: Friday 1 September 2023QAL invites researchers who want to explore the use of quantum computers for their scientific use cases to apply for in-kind contributions from QAL members!
At QAL we are interested in supporting the development of use cases and applications in different fields. We want to understand: how could quantum computers benefit an application? What type of algorithms can we use? What are the requirements and bottlenecks of implementing and executing these use cases? In order to explore these questions, we are looking to further engage with academic use cases and learn together what quantum computing can do for us!
For more information, see https://quantumapplicationlab.com/2023/05/17/quantum-application-lab-open-call-for-science/ or contact info at quantumapplicationlab.com. -
NWO Vici
Deadline: Tuesday 12 September 2023The NWO Talent Programme Vici is a grant for senior researchers who have demonstrated an ability to develop their own line of research. The Vici target group consists of researchers at the stage of consolidation and further development of their leadership/research group. The goal of the Vici grant is to contribute to the researcher's development in this area.
Closing date for pre-registration: 14 March 2023 14:00 hrs.
