Open Science NL Expands Funding Programme for 2025 Open Science Meetings

Open Science NL Expands Funding Programme for 2025 Open Science Meetings 1024 681 Open and Universal Science (OPUS) Project

Open Science NL has announced the reopening of its funding programme for Open Science Meetings in 2025, introducing expanded eligibility criteria to foster broader engagement. Alongside universities, universities of applied sciences, and research institutes, museums, libraries, patient organisations, and citizen collectives can now serve as co-applicants for funding.

This expansion follows feedback gathered through a 2024 survey from both users and non-users of the programme. The initiative continues to support events such as workshops, symposia, and conferences that promote open science principles. By including a wider range of applicants, Open Science NL aims to enhance accessibility to scientific knowledge production, evaluation, and communication beyond traditional academic circles.

A new addition this year allows reimbursement for travel and accommodation costs for speakers, while the maximum funding per meeting remains €15,000.

Application Procedure

  • Each applicant may submit one funding request per year.
  • Applications are processed on a rolling basis, in order of receipt, until the budget is exhausted or the deadline of 11 December 2025.
  • There is no competition between proposals, and decisions are made within six weeks by the Open Science NL office without external advisory input.
