Who can apply

Universities, NWO institutes, scientific libraries and information-providing academic institutions. KNAW institutes cannot apply. Applicants at medical faculties or academic hospitals must report to their faculty.

Other applications, in which the medical faculties are not involved, can be submitted directly.

What can be applied for

Subsidy for the purchase of scientific equipment with a ZonMw contribution of 110,000 up to 1,500,000 euro (incl. VAT). This also applies to creating data collections and accompanying software.

The applicant’s own minimum contribution is 25%, so ZonMw's contribution can never be more than 75% up to a maximum of 900,000 euro.

When can be applied

  • Closing date for submitting applications was 31 August 2011
