Grants Overview

VU IXA-GO supports researchers at VU with several types of research grants. On their website they provide a list of the most common grants that they support. These are national grants, European grants, personal grants and consortium grants. The grants overview page provides you with an initial overview of the best-known grants and grant suppliers. One of their regulations is that they primarily support grants of EUR 250,000 or more and only for researchers at the post-PhD stage of their careers.

Some faculty research support offices also provide support with other grants than those listed in the grants overview page. Contact the research support office of your faculty for further information.
