- Good
- Unsatisfactory
The qualification system applies to almost all funding instruments from NWO. If not applicable, this is mentioned in the call for proposals of that specific round.
Brazilian‐Dutch research teams must prepare a joint research application which will be submitted to NWO by the Netherlands‐based Principal Investigator and to FAPESP by the São Paulo‐based Principal Investigator. Eligible consortia are composed of researchers based in The Netherlands and in Sao Paolo. The consortium must also include a partner from the public, semi‐ public and/or private practitioner organisation.

The aim of this call is to strengthen research cooperation between researchers in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and researchers in the Netherlands by funding joint research projects. It is envisaged that applications will display a balanced partnership, not specifically in monetary terms but with equivalent research commitment and efforts from both sides. It is expected that research activities be conducted on both sides, including the exchange of researchers, and that the project and the intellectual contribution is evenly balanced between São Paulo and the Netherlands. Aiming for projects with sustainable results and high potential for impact by inviting consortia in which researchers from knowledge institutions from both countries will work with societal partners from public, semi‐public and private organisations, in order to increase the societal relevance and impact of their research.
