Grants

NWO Talent Scheme (Veni, Vidi, Vici)

The personal research grants from the Talent scheme (Veni, Vidi, Vici) are prestigious national grants awarded to highly promising researchers. Over the years, LUMC is proud to have been the host of over 140 researchers who were awarded a Veni, Vidi or Vici grant. Those projects speak about the high quality and strong innovative character of the research performed within LUMC.

NWO, the Dutch Research Council, promotes and finances scientific research at universities and institutes in the Netherlands. Below you will find an overview of the most recent Veni, Vidi, Vici laureates within the LUMC. Former LUMC laureates are listed in the annexes.

About the NWO Talent Scheme

Since 2000, the NWO Talent Scheme aims to promote innovation in Dutch academic research and enhance the career perspectives of young researchers. With this type of personal grant, the top researchers (10-20% of their peer group) have the opportunity to develop their own, innovative line of research. All research performed with those grants fits within LUMC’s research profiles.
