Ten young researchers of the University of Twente were awarded a ‘Veni’ grant from Dutch Research Council NWO today. This is a record score for the UT in a Veni round. Using this grant of 250,000 euro, the laureates can work out their ideas for the coming three years: from materials communicating with us to better care after cancer or responsible use of artificial intelligence.
The Veni grant is part of NWO’s Talent Programme, for scientists in subsequent parts of their career: Veni, Vidi, Vici. This time, 161 Veni’s were awarded, 14% of the total number of submissions. University of Twente had 50 submissions, and scores 20%. In total, NWO invests 41.5 million euro in this round.
Among them is Annemieke Witteveen from our BSS group.
