Call: LUF Praesidium Libertatis Grant for Innovative Research

13 February 2026

The LUF is offering two grants of up to 75,000 euros for innovative scientific research for researchers who obtained their PhD no more than ten years ago (the NWO extension scheme applies). The project may have a maximum duration of three years.

Pre-selection

Each faculty may nominate a maximum of two projects. A pre-selection will take place within the faculties. Applications that receive the support of the faculty board may subsequently be submitted to the LUF between 1 April and 1 July 2026. Please note that the pre-selection deadline is earlier and differs per faculty. For this, please contact the person within your faculty who coordinates the process.
