Open Technology Programme | NWO Scientists from all disciplines can submit proposals for application-oriented technical/scientific research. Several companies and partners can participate in a project by making a financial or material contribution. A user committee is set up for every project that is granted.
Always open to applications The NWO Domain Applied and Engineering Sciences, which is responsible for the Open Technology Programme, provides every project with funding up to a maximum of 950,000 euros. If the total project costs exceed 700,000 euro, co-funding by users is compulsory. It amounts to 25% of the sum in excess of 700,000 euro.
In the Open Technology Programme, research applications can be submitted the whole year round. Several times a year, the Domain Board decides which research proposals will receive funding. Early closure of Open Technology Programme 2026 The maximum number of applications for the Open Technology Programme 2026 round has been reached.
The maximum capacity of the reserve list (waiting list) has now also been reached. It is therefore no longer possible to submit an application for this round. Researchers who want to submit after the maximum number of applications has been reached, can apply for funding through the Open Technology Programme 2027 call .
Features of the Open Technology Programme Open to research projects in all disciplines NWO’s maximum contribution is 950,000 euros per project Accessible way for companies to become involved in application-oriented research Several companies and partners can take part in a project NWO supervises the progress of the project Assessment of applications High scientific quality and usability are the two criteria according to which applications for the Open Technology Programme are assessed by international independent referees.
The proposal, the reference comments and the reply are then scored on both criteria by an independent multidisciplinary jury consisting of 10 to 12 members. A ranking is determined based on these scores. The Board of the NWO Domain Applied and Engineering Sciences (formerly: STW) makes the final granting decision.
For over 40 years, the Open Technology Programme has offered room for diverse scientific innovations, collaborations and applications in society. A small selection of stories about recent projects is listed here.

This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
America's Seed Fund powered by NSF reopened for FY2026 with two parallel solicitations: NSF 26-510 for deep technologies and a new pilot, NSF 26-511, dedicated to scientific instrumentation. Project Pitch is the mandatory first gate, the first full-proposal deadline is July 27, 2026, and Phase I runs up to $305K. Here is how the topic-agnostic NSF model differs from agency-directed SBIR — and how to use the new pilot.
Read articleNSF restarted its SBIR/STTR programs on May 31, 2026 after a multi-month hiatus, with a $250 million FY26 allocation, a Project Pitch portal reopen on June 2, and a first full-proposal deadline of July 27, 2026. The big structural changes: a new Strategic Breakthrough tier that extends invited Phase II companies up to $30 million, and a $40 million pilot for next-generation scientific instrumentation. Phase I tops out at $305K, Phase II at $1.25M, with November 4 and March 4, 2027 windows behind the July 27 first deadline. For deep-tech startups that watched the NIH SBIR omnibus go dark and DARPA pull back on conventional Phase II slots, this is the most consequential reopening of the year — and the Strategic Breakthrough tier is the first time NSF has competed directly with venture capital at growth-stage check sizes.
