The Top Talent Initiative provides personal grants to outstanding individuals to advance in their field or explore new areas of expertise, contributing to the development of the Dutch quantum ecosystem and supporting the goals of the QDNL program.
The Top Talent Initiative is a personal grant aimed at individuals who have secured or are on track to secure a permanent position with a Netherlands-based organization after September 2024. This grant supports a candidate’s personal vision and ambitions that align with one or more QDNL action lines, catalyst programmes, or the overall QDNL goals.
Candidates have flexibility in using the allocated funds—ranging from a minimum of €100,000 to a maximum of €300,000 (up to €400,000 for exceptionally high-cost projects, such as academic experimental physics). All expenditures must comply with NGF/RVO regulations and receive QDNL approval. The funds can be applied toward innovative ideas in research, valorisation, entrepreneurship, education, communication, or policy, as long as they contribute to advancing quantum technology within our ecosystem.
