Purpose: Within Demand-Driven Partnerships for Consortia NWO provides an opportunity for consortia to organise, develop and grow to a size from which societal (including economic) impact may be expected. The project proposal arises from a self-chosen knowledge and/or development question that fits within one or more Knowledge- and innovation agendas (KIAs).
Who can apply: Pre-proposals and full proposals are submitted by a main applicant and one or more co-applicants. A proposal is developed up by a consortium in which other participants, including co-funders, are involved in addition to the applicants. A consortium always consists of researchers from two or more different knowledge institutions, supplemented by one or more co-funders and possibly supplemented by one or more collaboration partners.
