The table shows from top to bottom grants awarded in 2022, running grants and completed grants, awarded in earlier years, including their financial envelope, running period and –if not the NWO- institute- the name of the Nikhef partner university via which the grant is administrated (as said, this number is increasing).
In 2022 the Nikhef partnership has obtained almost 17 M€ of grants, comparable to the level in 2020 (15,7 M€). This figure does not include the contribution from the Growth Fund for the preparation of a bid for the Einstein Telescope in the EUregio Meuse Rhine, for which 42 M€ has been assigned. It is expected that about 27 M€ of this amount will be managed through Nikhef.
