Call Top Sector HTSM: NWO promotes partnerships with SMEs
In its strategic plan, NWO has incorporated greater involvement of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in fundamental physics research. Within NWO there are KIEM tools for this, such as KIEM for the Top Sector Chemical Top Sector. NWO is now continuing the KIEM-HTSM pilot to stimulate this collaboration within the Top Sector HighTech Systems and Materials. Innovative collaboration projects from businesses and research institutes, in which the business community wishes to invest, can submit project proposals to NWO. The second round of the pilot for the KIEM-HTSM tool has been launched immediately with a call for proposals. The deadline for applications is 4 April 2017.
The first round of KIEM-HTSM was organised by FOM. Because of the transition of NWO the remainder of the pilot is organised by the Sciences domain of NWO.
