Small projects for NWA routes 21/22
Within this call for proposals, the route management of each NWA route can apply for funding for up to 3 small projects. These projects focus on an innovative idea, promotion of utilization of existing knowledge or synthesis of existing knowledge. The projects should contribute to topics relevant to the route and align with the route's knowledge agenda, ambitions and gamechangers.
The route management should go through a transparent process to arrive at a selection of the proposed subprojects together with its route network and should describe this process in the application. New and innovative connections should also be made for example between disciplines, organizations and research fields.
What to apply for?
Routes can apply up to a maximum of €300,000 for a project. A project consists of a maximum of three sub-projects of at least €50,000 and at most €150,000 each. The maximum duration of the total project is 2 years.
For the subprojects the choice can be made:
- Innovative: explore a new, out-of-the-box idea or;
- Synthesis: merging of existing knowledge to arrive at new insights which contribute to the knowledge agenda, ambitions and/or game changers of the route;
- Knowledge utilisation: (research into or for the purpose of) knowledge utilisation, valorisation and implementation of existing knowledge.
