Innovational Research Incentives Scheme Veni is a grant for researchers who have recently obtained their PhD. The grant comprises 250,000 euro. Source
Dr. Fleur Jongepier
Smart algorithms are increasingly deducing what we want or intend to do. The powerful liberal idea that individuals themselves know best is therefore under pressure. This project investigates the tensions between algorithmic authority and first-person authority, and develops a systematic overview of the relevant ethical implications. Source
Prof. Dr. Marcel van Gerven
Using computational techniques from Artificial Intelligence to read out internal representations from the brain. This research forms the basis of new applications within neuroscience.
Vidi (2015)
The Innovational Research Incentives Scheme Vidi allows researchers who have already spent several years doing postdoctoral research to develop their own innovative lines of research, and to appoint one or more researchers. The grant comprises a maximum of 800,000 euro. Source
Vici (2006)
Vici is targeted at outstanding senior researchers who have successfully demonstrated the ability to develop their own innovative lines of research, and to act as coaches for young researchers. The maximum grant is 1.5 million euros. Source
Prof. Dr. Tom Heskes
Tom's research, in his own words, focuses on datascience and artificial intelligence, in particular machine learning. In a nutshell, we use probability calculus and statistics to develop and understand computing systems that can learn from data. Source
