NWO call Creative Industry - Embedded and Strategic Research

NWO invites applications for the call Embedded and Strategic Research in the Creative industry programme. Deadline for submitting Letters of Intent is May 12, 2014. The aim of the Creative industry programme is to encourage the development of new research projects to strengthen the knowledge base for the Creative industry. Senior researchers can submit Embedded or Strategic research projects on behalf of consortia of companies and researchers.

NWO allows for different kinds of proposals - ranging from short-term (minimum six months) to long-term (maximum five years) projects - so that the desired collaboration between researchers and entrepreneurs and the valorisation of the knowledge acquired can be realised in a mutually acceptable manner. In all cases projects will be realised by consortia of at least one knowledge institution and at least one private partner, possibly supplemented with other private and/or (semi-)public parties. Research proposals must align with one or more of the research agendas developed by the CLICKNL networks for Games, Media & ICT, Cultural heritage and Business innovation.

The budget for this call is € 4.5 million. For Embedded research the minimum grant is € 75,000 and the maximum € 125,000. For Strategic research the minimum amount that can be requested is € 250,000 and the maximum € 600,000.
