Funding orientation phase
Once you have an initial research plan developed, you should now start looking for financial resources in the funding orientation phase. This pertains finances to perform your research - including a budget you will need for data management, societal impact, and open science.
Please note that Utrecht University and the Faculty of Geosciences have financial support available for the proposal writing itself, provided that Utrecht University is the project coordinator.
