Veni and Vidi grants
The Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has offered eight researchers a Veni or Vidi grant.
A Veni grant allows excellent researchers who have recently taken their PhD, to continue to develop their ideas; the maximum is 250,000 euro. A Vidi grant allows researchers who want to develop their own innovative line of research and appoint one or more researchers for the duration of five years; the maximum is 800,000 euro.
These grants are part of the Innovational Research Incentives Programme that has been set up in 2000 by NWO, KNAW (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) and the universities jointly. The programme is directed at providing encouragement for individual researchers and giving talented, creative researchers the opportunity to conduct their own research programme independently and promote talented researchers to enter and remain committed to the scientific profession.
