Gravitation Funding (Zwaartekracht subsidie) for LUMC CCB Researchers Alfred Vertegaal and Monique Mulder
Seven consortia with top scientists from various Dutch universities will receive a total of 160.5 million euros. The Gravitation funding will enable these consortia to conduct pioneering research over the next ten years. Minister Dijkgraaf (Ministry of Education, Culture and Science) is making this funding available for researchers from one or more disciplines who are working together in consortia. This fosters innovation, excellence and the international positioning of Dutch research. The Dutch Research Council (NWO) carried out the selection process for the Gravitation programme.
Researchers Alfred Vertegaal and Monique Mulder from the CCB department of the LUMC are involved in two of these projects.
