On Monday the 3rd of March the 2nd NWA-ORC call was published by NWO. The NWA-ORC call is very suitable for mono- as well as multidisciplinary consortia along the whole knowledge chain looking for research and the application of research results along the routes of the Dutch National Science Agenda (NWA, https://wetenschapsagenda.nl/routes/)
Together with the institutes and the Strategic Business Development (SBD) office of the university, we are making an inventory of the initiatives in order to be able to support you.
Inform us about your initiative
In case you are planning to be part of an NWA-ORC initiative, would you please contact l.j.m.blikman@utwente.nl and provide the information below? Additionally, in case you plan to lead an NWA-ORC initiative you will need a support letter signed by the Board of the University of Twente. For this support letter, announcing your initiative to me is necessary as well.
