More than 40% of Dutch people experience mental health problems at least once in their lives. Mental illnesses affect both young and old and can have an enormous impact on sufferers and also on family members, friends and colleagues. Mental illnesses have a large societal impact.

NWO will no longer use its own funds to enter into new financial obligations for joint calls via ERA-NETs and JPIs.
