P
PGZ - Planetary Boundaries Fresh Water Cycle
The aim of the programme is to generate knowledge in the area of Planetary Boundaries Freshwater Cycle. Applicants are requested to pay particular attention to how the research contributes to determining worldwide boundaries for freshwater use.
PIPP - Principal Investigator Preparatory Programme (PIPP)
NWO Physical Sciences (EW) is cooperating with the Netherlands Space Office (NSO) in the Principal Investigator Preparatory Programme (PIPP). The programme focuses on preparing future Dutch principal investigator (PI) roles in scientific space missions.
PoaC - Process on a Chip (POAC)
The basic idea of Process on a Chip (PoaC) is that the full production process of high-grade compounds can be executed on one chip, including the operational logic and measurement facilities. In order to realise that, an integrated circuit must be made (in silicon or synthetic fibre) with microchannels, reaction nodes, steps for characterisation and reprocessing, allowing chemical reactions to be produced on a very small scale and with unprecedented precision.
