Highlighting the Talent Programma Grantees of TU Delft
The Talents Programme has been since its inception in 2000 one of the most prestigious grants provided by the Netherlands Organization for Research. Offering researchers from all career levels a chance to do free and creative research.
The “Veni, Vidi and Vici” have been a hallmark of the Dutch research funding landscape. Intended to foster talented and creative researchers. Providing money for young researchers take their first steps in their research careers (Veni), helping more seasoned researchers establish their own research group (Vidi), or provide senior research with the opportunity to expand their research line (Vici). The Talent Programme has become a measure of quality in the Dutch research community.
Researchers from TU Delft have successfully acquired grant on all levels of the Talent Programme. This of course is due to the ambitious and forward-thinking nature of those same researchers. With this list we want to highlight all of these researchers and celebrate their achievement.
