Grants 2019

The table shows from top to bottom grants awarded in 2019, 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.

In 2019 Nikhef has scored less sizable grants (in total 12 M€) than the extremely successful previous year (2018: 25,5 M€). More than half of this amount is attributable to the funding from EU Regional Funds (and associated cofounding) for the ET pathfinder; the funded share of the Nikhef partners in this project is 7,65 M€ (the total funding is ~14,5 M€).
