The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has accepted nine proposals from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) as part of the Research Talent subsidy programme of the NWO Division of Social Sciences (MaGW). In total, 42 of the 206 proposals submitted were accepted. The Research Talent subsidy programme provides financial assistance to high-level PhD research conducted by young, talented individuals with a demonstrable ambition to pursue an academic career. The subsidy pays for the staff costs incurred by appointing a full-time PhD candidate for three years.
