A major new funding opportunity has opened for researchers working at the cutting edge of semiconductors and quantum technologies. Strategic investment in key national technologiesSemiconductor and quantum technologies are cornerstones of the Dutch government’s National Technology Strategy, underpinning future advances in computing, communication, security and industrial competitiveness. To accelerate both fundamental insight and real-world application, NWO and Holland High Tech have jointly committed €11.85m to this call. The funding is evenly split: half is reserved for semiconductor-focused research, while the remaining budget supports projects dedicated to advancing quantum technologies. The second research track focuses squarely on quantum technologies.
