The table shows from top to bottom grants awarded in 2018, 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 grants have been obtained.
The year 2018 has been extremely successful: 25,5M€ has been acquired from a variety of funding channels (NWO, Horizon2020), three times more than in 2017 (7,8M€), with the remark that half of this success is attributable to the funding from the Roadmap for Large Research Infrastructures for KM3NeT 2.0 (12,7 M€).
