Amsterdam UMC TKI-PPP Grant
TKI-PPP grant Amsterdam UMC stimulates its researchers to perform research projects together with companies in Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).
The call for ‘Amsterdam UMC TKI-grant PILOT call 2024’ is now open.

Please feel free to share this call for proposals with any interested researchers from your group.
