First call

Utrecht University has granted Seed Awards in two rounds to interdisciplinary research projects in Utrecht. The aim is to bring together researchers from different disciplines to make proposals for groundbreaking research. With this money they can collect research data which can serve as a basis for a funding proposal. In 2014 (first call) six research proposals were granted:
