NWO Talent programme Veni Science 2026

Veni is part of the NWO Talent Programme. It allows researchers who have recently obtained their PhD to conduct independent research and develop their ideas for a period of three years. The Veni target group consists of researchers at the stage of transitioning towards independence. The Veni grant can contribute to the researcher’s development in this area. The Veni grant is aimed at researchers with academic qualities that clearly exceed what is customary. The Veni grant is intended to finance academically innovative research and to give these researchers the opportunity to develop themselves as independent researchers.
