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 .
