  • FOM foundation absorbed into NWO

    22 December 2016

    From 1 January 2017 onwards the current Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) will form a new organisation together with other NWO units. The FOM Governing Board took the final decision for this transformation on 21 December 2016. FOM will continue to exist as a legal entity, with new articles of association and a new name, the Foundation NWO Institutes. Nine institutes will eventually reside under this. The awarding of grants to Dutch physics will continue within the new NWO Science Domain. The name FOM will therefore disappear after 70 years.

  • NWO stimulates optimal access to research data

    20 July 2016

    Dealing with research data responsibly is part of good research. Therefore all calls for proposals that NWO publishes after 1 October 2016 will contain a data management protocol. In this protocol, NWO will ask all researchers who apply for funding to think in advance about relevant data that their research will yield and how they can share this with other researchers. NWO will ask researchers awarded funding to produce a concrete plan for storing their data and making this reusable.

  • NWO makes 3 million available for Replication Studies pilot

    19 July 2016

    NWO is making 3 million euros available for a Replication Studies pilot programme. In this programme, scientists will be able to repeat research that has been carried out by others. The pilot focuses on replicating studies that have a large impact on science, government policy or the public debate. This is the first special funding programme in the world for the repetition of such ‘cornerstone research’. With this initiative NWO wants to facilitate innovation in science and encourage researchers to carry out replication research.
