Vidi grants

The Veni, Vidi and Vici grants together form the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme, a subsidised programme for talented, creative researchers who conduct innovative research. The Vidi grant is for researches who have conducted research for a number of years after obtaining their doctorate.
