Perspectief round 2024/2025

Perspectief round 2024/2025 is sponsored by NWO Domain AES (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research). This program stimulates collaboration between scientists and industry to solve innovation bottlenecks. It focuses on large-scale, application-oriented and technical sciences research projects that generate economic and social impact in thematic areas relevant to the Netherlands.

Perspectief round 2024/2025 | NWO Innovation that has an economic and social impact often requires a large-scale approach. Developing new technology requires setting up new lines of research, transcending old networks and creating close collaboration between scientists and industry. The financing instrument Perspectief focuses on stimulating this collaboration in order to solve innovation bottlenecks.

Innovative knowledge takes shape in an application that contributes to technological innovation with potential economic and social impact for the Netherlands. Scientists, companies and social organisations can apply a comprehensive research project concerning new technology through consortia.

Such a project usually consists of four to eight work packages which approach the overarching theme from various research directions, with an explicit focus on application. At least three knowledge institutions and four users must be represented in the consortium. In addition to academic parties, TO2 institutes and universities of applied sciences can also apply for funding under certain conditions.

For each program, users must contribute to the program costs of at least 30%, of which at least 10% in cash. More information about the conditions can be read in the call for proposals. A total budget of 26 million euros is available for this Perspectief round.

The minimum monetary value of the NWO contribution for each project is 2 million Euros. The maximum NWO contribution for each project is 5 million Euros. More information about the conditions can be read in the call for proposals.

2). One form is available for assessing suitability within the KIA, which can be used for every KIA. Responsible research data management is an essential component of good research practice.

Prepare a data management plan after the grant is awarded and before the project starts. You can submit a statement of intent via tab 3. Submit.

Pre-proposals and applications must be submitted through the ISAAC application and reporting system. If you do not have an ISAAC account yet, then please create one at least one workday in advance. More information about writing a proposal and which forms you need to use can be found in ISAAC.

Please download and use the forms in ISAAC. Below you will find examples of the required forms. A pre-proposal should contain an outline describing the research lines, the pathway towards societal impact, and the type and number of work packages that would be required to achieve the project objective(s).

Your pre-proposal should contain an estimate and justification of the financial resources required to achieve the proposed research objective.

For this call, in addition to completing and uploading the application form for the preproposal, please upload the following attachment: Completed form ‘Review form KIA' Downloads for your application Perspectief round 2024/2025 | call for proposals Perspectief round 2024/2025 | format application form full proposal Perspectief round 2024/2025 | template declaration of co-funding Perspectief round 2024/2025 | template consortium agreement Perspectief round 2024/2025 | form response points of attention committee Perspectief round 2024/2025 | form perspectief KIA_KET Perspectief round 2024/2025 | statement and signing by the main applicant Perspectief round 2024/2025 | budget format (version with latest rates) Online manual grant application system ISAAC ISAAC offers applicants for research funding the possibility to track their application in the assessment process.
