Science (ENW)
NWO encourages excellent research in the NWO Domain Science (ENW). Various funding instruments are available to achieve this.
The NWO Domain Science (ENW) comprises seven disciplines: Astronomy, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Physics.
The Board of the NWO Domain Science strives to provide ideas from the scientific field, which have the potential to grow into new communities around a theme, a chance to flourish. These ideas can concern fundamental research, public-private partnerships, or major societal issues. The spectrum of funding instruments in the NWO Open Competition ENW, in particular, make this growth possible.

The board of the NWO Domain Science
The NWO Domain Science has a Domain Board that is responsible for developing the policy. The Domain Board takes decisions about the awarding of funds.
Members are pre-eminent professors in the domain of the exact and natural sciences at Dutch universities or research institutes. The chair is a member of the NWO-wide Executive Board. This Board is a collegial board. The members jointly represent the entire scope of science.
The composition of the board (as of January 1, 2023) is as follows:
- Prof. J. (Jan) de Boer (University of Amsterdam), Chair, also member of the Executive Board
- Prof. K.I. (Karen) Aardal (Delft University of Technology)
- Prof. I.C.W. (Ilja) Arts (Maastricht University)
- Prof. Peter van Bodegom (Leiden University)
- Prof. Ferdinand Grozema (Delft University of Technology)
- Prof. R.J. (Rob) Hamer (former Unilever)
- Prof. M.R. (Maarten) van Steen (University of Twente)
Board secretary: Irene Heijden

Round Tables
The executive board of the NWO Domain Science (Exacte en Natuurwetenschappen, ENW) has appointed seven disciplinary consultation committees in 2018 to facilitate effective cooperation between the board, the bureau and ‘the field’. These disciplinary consultation committees, to be called ‘round tables’, are made up of researchers, and are intended to ensure that the research field is organised to provide advice to the board in the new NWO.
For more information about the round tables, please visit the individual table pages:Round Table Astronomy (click here for more information)

Round Table Life Sciences (click here for more information)
Round Table Mathematics (click here for more information)
Round Table Physics (click here for more information)
Common practices in Science disciplines
The Round Table have prepared a manual with common practices within their field (see downloads at the bottom of this page). In order to help researchers review the quality of work outside their own field of science.

Organisation Domain Science (ENW)
The office of the NWO Domain Science realises the established policy and prepares new policy to support the Domain Board. The office is the first point of contact for researchers and connects the scientific field with NWO. It deals with funding applications, manages programmes and projects, and supports NWO steering groups and committees in the realisation of their tasks.

Research Communities
The Domain Science offers scientists the opportunity to discuss important themes in
the research field of the individual disciplines that fall under the domain.
Members of a research community help to map out the current research field, discuss
the development of science and can contribute to advices to NWO. In addition,
membership offers scientists an opportunity to expand their network and connect with
scientists from other disciplines.More information about the various research communities can be found on the
following pages:Research Communities for Chemistry
Research Communities for the Earth and Environmental Sciences (AMW)
