  • NWO to invest 550 million euros in research in the top sectors

    14 December 2017

    NWO will contribute 550 million euros to the 2018-2019 Knowledge and Innovation Contract. With this contract, government, industry and knowledge institutes are underscoring the top sectors’ ambitions to strengthen the Dutch knowledge and innovation system. The contract represents a total investment of 4.7 billion euros. NWO’s contribution is designated for high-quality scientific research.

  • From fluid dynamics to blockchains and vice versa

    8 December 2017

    Some doctoral students know that their future does not lie in the academic world once they’ve gained their PhD. The physicist Sten Reijers, for instance, a third-year research assistant at the University of Twente, is going into business. Together with five friends, four of whom are also physicists, he recently launched his own company, Chaintip, that advises on blockchains. Remarkably, he is combining business with studies: NWO was prepared to alter his contract, allowing him to become a part-time PhD student from September onwards.

  • International workshops and schools in Computational Science

    1 December 2017

    Are you interested in participating in an international workshop or school in Computational Science? CECAM organises workshops and schools in the domain of atomistic and molecular simulations in physics, chemistry, biology, medicinal chemistry and materials science. NWO participates in CECAM in the context of international cooperation.

  • NWO will simplify research funding instruments

    6 November 2017

    During the course of 2018, NWO will implement a simplified set of funding instruments in all its domains. From 1 August 2018 onwards, researchers will be able to submit proposals for the first calls published in accordance with this new model. With this measure, the NWO Executive Board intends to create a higher degree of clarity in the research funding and a better connection between the domains for multidisciplinary research proposals.

  • The LIGO-Virgo global network of interferometers opens a new era for gravitational wave science

    28 September 2017

    The Virgo collaboration and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration report the threedetector observation of gravitational waves. This result highlights the scientific potential of a global network of gravitational wave detectors, by delivering a better localization of the source and access to polarizations of gravitational waves.

  • Vici grants for 34 scientists

    17 February 2017

    The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded 34 leading scientists a Vici grant worth one and half million euros. Vici is one of the largest grants for individual scientists in the Netherlands and is part of NWO's Talent Scheme. The funding will enable the scientists to develop their own innovative research line for the next five years and build up their own research group.
