With this Call for Proposals, NWO aims to strengthen collaboration between citizens and researchers within the Routes of the National Research Agenda. Through this instrument, NWO aims to offer engaged and curious citizens, organized into a citizen collective, the opportunity to address a societal issue in collaboration with researchers and within the framework of the National Science Agenda routes. By combining their experience and unique insights into the issue with the scientific insights of researchers, they can work together to develop potential solutions to the issue.
