The Open Competition schemes M and L have been merged into the funding instrument Open Competition Expand. OC Expand is intended for researchers who wish to carry out a large-scale research project that makes a substantial contribution to the development of knowledge within the social sciences and humanities. Applicants must hold a PhD and have a permanent or tenure-track appointment at a Dutch research institution.
The first call of proposals is currently in preparation thus pending further details, but the tentative deadlines have already been announced.
