The table shows from top to bottom grants awarded in 2017, 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. FOM-programmes and the LHC upgrade investment grant are not included in the table.
The year 2017 has been successful again: 7.8 M€ has been acquired from a variety of funding channels (NWO, Horizon2020), 2 M€ more than in 2016 (5.7 M€).
