Vici ZonMw NWO Talent Programme Requirements
- The Vici target group consists of researchers at the stage of consolidation and further development of their leadership/research group. The goal of the Vici grant is to contribute to the researcher's development in this area.
- Researchers who are significantly further along in their careers no longer fall within the Vici target group. This applies, for example, when researchers have already built up an established research group compared to their (inter)national peer group, and have secured a large amount of funding to further develop their own research group.
- The researcher must substantiate and demonstrate that the Vici can provide a substantial development to the consolidation of their own research group.
- Vici is aimed at senior researchers with academic qualities that clearly exceed what is customary within the international peer group, as well as established leadership- and mentorship skills.
- Researchers may only submit an application if they have obtained their PhD in the fifteen years preceding the benchmark date of this round, 1 March 2026. An extension to the above career-dependent submission period may be possible under specific circumstances
