Veni round 2024 open for pre-proposals
Veni in brief
Veni is aimed at newly promoted researchers. Researchers eligible for a Veni grant have academic qualities that clearly exceed what is usual. The Veni grant is intended to fund innovative scientific research and thereby give these researchers the opportunity to develop as independent researchers. The funding amounts to a maximum of €320,000.
Who can apply
Applications can be submitted by PhD researchers with permanent or temporary employment, from home or abroad. The 2024 Veni round is open to researchers with a PhD date after 1 January 2021 and before 3 September 2024.
Mandatory pre-proposal phase
Applicants must submit a pre-proposal to be considered for a Veni. If a positive decision follows the preproposal, the applicant is invited to submit a full application. If a negative decision follows the preliminary application, the applicant cannot submit a full application.
Important dates
The Veni timetable for all domains is as follows:
- The deadline for mandatory pre-proposals is Tuesday 3 September 2024, 14:00:00 CET
- The deadline for full proposals is 28 January 2025, 14:00:00 CET
