NWO call for Top Sector Chemistry Student Competition

The division of Chemical Sciences of NWO invites applications for the Top Sector Chemistry Student Competition. Deadline of submission is April 28, 2015. Together with the Top Sector Chemistry, NWO Chemical Sciences organizes this student competition. Student teams from universities and universities of applied sciences are invited to submit ideas for creative research projects, focusing on societal or industrial challenges.

The competition is open for chemistry students, but also for interdisciplinary teams with students in e.g. biology, physics, computer science, as long as the research question has a strong chemical component.

The budget available for the student projects in 2015 is approximately € 110,000. Up to twelve students, in four to six student teams, will receive grants for a research project of two months. Financing is up to € 27,000 for a project for three students, and € 18,000 for a project for two students.
