Grants 2021

The table shows from top to bottom: grants awarded in 2021, 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 mentioned on the Funding page, this number is increasing).

In 2021 the Nikhef partnership has obtained a little over 9 M€ of grants, less than in 2020 (15,7 M€), which however included National Roadmap (infrastructure) grants such as FuSE (e-Infrastructure).
