Open Competition SSH | NWO NWO expands access to the SSH Open Competition The SSH Open Competition remains an overarching programme with various instruments, and its nature remains unchanged. However, instead of three, SSH will offer two Open Competition variants to better meet the needs of the scientific community.
The Open Competition XS will continue in its current form, but from 2027 it will also be open to researchers immediately after they have obtained their PhD. The most significant change is that the Open Competition M and L will be merged into one instrument, and that access to these will also be broadened. The Calls for Proposals are expected to be published in mid-September 2026.
We will also update the information on the programme page accordingly. The aim of the Open Competition – SSH is to facilitate excellent, non-programmed, curiosity-driven research that primarily addresses a social sciences or humanities research question and research problem. Researchers can apply for funding for different types of research: small or large research projects, and for individual projects or for research groups.
Research can have a disciplinary, interdisciplinary or cross-domain character. The research can be aimed at international collaboration between researchers and/or research groups. The NWO Domain Social Sciences and Humanities has three different types of funding that you can submit proposals for in open competition.
These are the small-scale (XS) and large-scale (M and L) grants. See below for more information per instrument and the links to the funding pages. Please decide well in advance to which domain it would be best to submit your proposal.
After submission, your choice for the domain is final and it will no longer be possible to have the proposal assessed within another domain. If you have doubts about which domain would be most appropriate, for example, because your proposal has a (partly) domain-overarching character, then you should get in touch with one of the contact persons from the programme well before the deadline.
They can advise you about which domain can best deal with your proposal. However, the final choice is yours. Open for applicants who received their PhD at least five years ago.
Available budget per round is 4 million euros. Maximum amount per application is 50,000 euros. Open for applicants who received their PhD at least ten years ago.
The M call opens every other year. In the 2024 round, 59 research projects were awarded funding. Open for applicants who received their PhD at least fifteen years ago.
The L call opens every other year; the 2025 call is now in progress.
