Results and research

Thousands of scientists can conduct their research thanks to financial support from NWO. They work in the Netherlands, but also at foreign institutes, research centres and universities. NWO awards grants for top research and research equipment. Together with the coordination of research programmes this allocation of funding is one of NWO's most important tasks. Research leads to results. The publication of these results and the financial reports enable NWO to give account for the financial resources it receives.

What do scientists want to find out in their research projects? And why is that so interesting? In Featured, researchers explain the ins and outs of their work. They also give their opinion about other issues in the science practice.

Publications

NWO develops science policy in dialogue with the field and we want to show that. Onderzoek (Dutch for: research) is NWO's magazine for relations. In this magazine we discuss the developments, wishes and other voices in the scientific field. The magazine Results is a rich anthology of ground-breaking, surprising and above all socially relevant scientific results.
