Pre-announcement NGF GroenvermogenNL call: Human Capital with Learning Community approach | July 2024
The call 'On the Road to the Future: Learning communities as drivers for the green hydrogen economy' of the National Growth Fund programme GroenvermogenNL is expected to be launched in July 2024. GroenvermogenNL aims to accelerate the green hydrogen transition by stimulating investments, promoting innovation and capitalizing on opportunities for upscaling. This requires many well-trained professionals and craftsmen with the right knowledge and skills. That is why GroenvermogenNL has drawn up the human capital agenda (HCA) in collaboration with a large number of stakeholders in 2021. A budget of €26,800,000 is available for this call.
Public-private research into circularity and availability critical raw materials | 9 July 2024
ChemistryNL makes a budget available for public-private partnerships within circularity research via the TKI Green Chemistry and Circularity. €1.5 million is available for the theme of cricularity of consumer goods. In addition, €1.5 million is also available for research into innovations in the field of critical raw materials. Submissions must be made no later than July 9.
New subsidy scheme KIA CE | 15 August 2024
Subsidy applications for the development of innovative circular products, processes and/or services are possible from the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda - Circular Economy (KIA CE) scheme from May 7, 2024. Deadline Thursday 15 August 2024.
Cross-over PPP Call: Data Science for Crop Breeding | 2 September 2024
The top sectors Agri & Food, Horticulture & Starting Materials and Water & Maritime have opened their joint call for PPP (Public-Private Partnership) projects for advances in data science for crop breeding. The call focuses on developing advanced data infrastructures, models, algorithms and AI technologies to optimize breeding processes and phenotyping. The ultimate goal is to develop new, adaptable crops that are more resistant to changing environmental conditions and diseases. The available budget is approximately €12.8 million per year. Submissions can be made until 2 September 2024.
Kiem Hightech | 8 October 2024
With the KIEM HighTech 2024 subsidy scheme, Holland High Tech and Regieorgaan SIA stimulate technical innovation through collaboration between researchers, SMEs and other practical partners.
Smart Materials, from responsive to adaptive | november 2024
The NWO call Smart Materials focuses on smart materials. Smart materials are seen as essential components of the key technology Advanced materials. This call aims to create and research a new generation of materials that integrate complex functionalities and prepare them for applications. The total budget of this call is 5.5 million euros with a duration of 6 years.
KIC-Call open: Demand by Consortia - S | November 2024
Cybersecurity, climate change, circular economy, housing shortage, aging or healthcare: our society faces enormous challenges that call for knowledge and breakthrough innovations. In this call for proposals, funding for impact-driven collaborative research can be applied for. The budget of this call is 7.5 million euros with a duration for projects of at least 2 to maximum 6 years. Deadline for submitting applications is 5 November 2024.
KIC call on optical broadband systems opened | November 2024
KIC call on optical broadband systems openNWO invites researchers and research institutes to submit proposals for interdisciplinary research into optical broadband systems for the call 'Future Optical Broad Spectrum Systems'. This call is in line with the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda for Key Technologies, specifically the key technologies optics and photonics, and requires collaboration with public and private parties. A total of 7 million euros is available for this call. The deadline for submitting applications is November 28, 2024.
In preparation: Future Broad Spectrum Optical Systems | 29 November 2024
Optical systems form part of the key enabling technology Optical systems and integrated photonics. These are constructed systems to refract or reflect light to perform certain optical functions. For example, communication is possible with photons as an information carrier.
The optical lighting, sensors and measuring technology in these optical systems function wavelength-dependent. For higher measurement accuracy, speed and wide applicability, broadband functionality is essential, for which broadband optical components must be developed. This concerns, for example, sensors and sources, computational imaging, hyperspectral components, broadband meta-surfaces and lenses, coatings and GRIN components.
Open Technologyprogram 2024 | continuously open
The Open Technology Program provides funding for application-oriented technical-scientific research that is free and unfettered and unhindered by disciplinary boundaries. The program offers companies and other organizations an accessible way to participate in scientific research that should lead to social and/or scientific impact. A maximum of €900,000 can be requested for an application. The maximum duration of the proposed project is 6 years.
In preparation: High performance materials for Defence and Security | 30 January 2025
The programme aims to build knowledge on advanced materials, such as functional composites and metamaterials, and how functional properties can be added or modified to these materials. In addition, this programme aims to create new insights on new production methods (such as additive manufacturing) and the establishment of production chains for these and other high-performance materials. Results from this research contribute to the ability of defence and security agencies to use advanced materials that provide optimal protection, enable operational units to gain a competitive advantage and are as lightweight and durable as possible, at an affordable price.
Pre-announcement: Cyber resilience in critical chains and systems in energy, health and care or horticulture and starting materials | 2024
Are you helping to increase the cyber resilience of critical chains and systems? Do you have a solution that you want to take further by applying it in the fields of energy, health and care or horticulture and starting materials? A specific TKI call will soon open that will offer opportunities for this.
