The new NWO programme Museum Grants is aimed at developing talent and scientific research in the museum world. The research results should directly benefit everyday practice in museums. Only museum employees may submit research proposals, with a required involvement of the director of their institute as well as a professor. Applications are open for a research grant (max. €50,000) or for a PhD grant (max. € 62,500) on the basis of a four-year, full-time, research project.
