Consortia with top scientists from our different EWUU institutes will receive millions of euros as part of the Gravitation programme of NWO. With this they can carry out pioneering research over the next ten years. Minister Dijkgraaf (OCW) is making this funding available for researchers from one or more disciplines who work together in consortia. This promotes innovation, excellence and international positioning of Dutch research. With Gravitation, the government promotes excellent research in the Netherlands. It is intended for scientific consortia that are among the world’s top in their field or have the potential to reach that place.
