Applied Mathematics

Line of action : Consolidating strengths
Secretariat : EW
Apply : No, the subsidy is closed for applications

Objective
In order to improve the effectiveness of the application of mathematical knowledge all relevant efforts in the field must be combined. For that reason the Technology Foundation STW and NWO Division for Physical Sciences have devised the programme Mathematics Applied to strenghten mathematical research that is oriented to social needs.

Application

Who can apply

Researchers at Dutch universities, NWO and Royal Netherlands Academy institutes in all branches of mathematics.

What can be applied for

Information is available from the contacts of this subsidy form.

When can be applied

The programme is closed for applications.

Extra Information

In many areas of society, technology in particular, a mathematisation is taking place that calls for a solid mathematical underpinning. In important application areas recent developments in mathematics are often underused. By making better use of relevant mathematical knowledge, possibly in combination with other scientific disciplines, it will be possible to fortify the position of Dutch businesses, to improve the performance of (government) bodies and to raise the level of knowledge in society.

Selection

Criteria

A crucial condition is that the proposal must indicate the mathematical application in concrete detail. This means that there must be a real chance that the knowledge that is to be developed is actually going to be used by a company or social institution. More information is available from the contacts of this subsidy form.

Procedure

Applications can be submitted to the Technology Foundation STW. The programme committee decides whether the proposals fit the criteria. The applications will first be reviewed via STW by a number of external experts according to the criteria of scientific quality and usability. Next the programme committee will decide whether the proposals will be recommended for approval at either STW or the Division for Physical Sciences.
