The NGF call ‘Op Weg Naar de Toekomst’ Learning communities als aanjagers voor de groene waterstofeconomie’ will be launched.The National Growth Fund programme GreenNL aims to accelerate the green hydrogen transition by stimulating investment, promoting innovation and capturing opportunities for scale-up.
This requires many well-trained professionals and professionals with the right knowledge and skills. For this reason, GroenvermogenNL has drawn up the human capital agenda (HCA) in 2021 in cooperation with a large number of stakeholders. A budget of €26,800,000 is available for this call.
To deploy new knowledge on the labour market, GroenvermogenNL connects knowledge development with regional learning communities where innovation, learning and working come together. In deze learning communities worden de resultaten van onderzoek geïmplementeerd en verder ontwikkeld. In this way, GroenvermogenNL gives substance to skills valorisation: valorising new knowledge from research and innovations by developing the skills of professionals and students.[HB[1]
This call encourages research into regional solutions for creating and shaping a responsive ecosystem of work, learning and innovation through practice-based research. Together, these regional ecosystems form a national ecosystem of working, learning and innovation to accelerate the hydrogen transition. This call for proposals aims to contribute to knowledge development for the benefit of this ecosystem as a whole.
€26,800,000 is available for research from the National Growth Fund programme GroenvermogenNL. Seven applications can be awarded in this call for proposals, each from one region in the Netherlands.
The planning for this call for proposals consists of three phases:
During these workshops, the participating parties for each region will work towards one regional consortium and one application for each of the seven regions. Registration for the workshops will be via open registration.
An information session on this call for proposals will be organised in September 2024.
This call for proposals is part of the National Growth Fund project Groenvermogen NL. This project is the GroenvermogenNL investment programme for the Dutch economy and community. Through this programme, green hydrogen should become the pulling force for the transition from a fossil-based community and industry to a sustainable energy supply.
This call encourages research into regional solutions for creating and shaping an ecosystem of work, learning and innovation through practical research. Together, these regional ecosystems form a national ecosystem of work, learning and innovation to accelerate the hydrogen transition. In 2022, the GroenvermogenNL proposal received an allocation from the National Growth Fund.
NWO runs thematic programmes for research, knowledge development and innovation funded from the National Growth Fund. The results are applicable in innovations and organisations, thus contributing to the sustainable earning capacity and broad prosperity of the Netherlands. In the programmes, parties from the entire knowledge chain work together, both public and private.
Disclaimer: this is solely an announcement of a proposed research programme by NWO. NWO is still awaiting funds from the National Growth Fund for this programme. The opportunity to apply for funding is open upon receipt of the funds and publication of a call for proposals.
