The table shows from top to bottom grants awarded in 2023, 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.
In 2023 the Nikhef partnership has obtained more than 34 M€ of grants, twice as much as in 2022. However, this figure is dominated by the contribution from the Growth Fund for the preparation of a bid for the Einstein Telescope in the EUregio Meuse Rhine, for which 26,9 M€ has been assigned to Nikhef.
