The government is investing a total of 160.5 million euros in
seven major research projects at Dutch universities. This involves
research into:
- mechanical stresses in plants (project by Wageningen University
& Research); - better understanding of proteins in our body (project from
Utrecht University); - cyber security (project of Eindhoven University of
Technology); - therapy against blindness (radboud UMC project);
- the chemical basis of mental disorders (University of Amsterdam
project); - crisis response (Utrecht University project), and
- chemical storage of electricity (project of Leiden
University.
The Dutch government has been investing in science for ten
years. Every two years, groups of scientists working for Dutch
universities can qualify for an investment. Research projects now
receive half of the money, and if evaluated successfully after five
years, the second half. This makes research possible for them for
ten years. The government only invests in research that is among
the world’s best or has the potential to achieve it. An
independent committee of international top scientists, supervised
by the Netherlands Organization for Science (NWO), will assess
this.
