(New) NWO: Vidi 2026 (open for pre-proposals)

Vidi is an instrument within the NWO Talent Programme. The Vidi target group consists of researchers who are in the transition to leadership. They also possess academic qualities that clearly exceed what is usual and demonstrate development of leadership and mentoring qualities. The Vidi grant funds scientifically innovative research and gives researchers the opportunity to establish or expand a research group.

The Vidi round is open to researchers who obtained their PhD between October 1, 2018 and October 1, 2026. The deadline for submitting pre-proposals is November 3, 2026 at 14:00 CET.
