AUF Impact Call 2024 | Deadline 31 January

21 January 2025

Do you have ambitions and plans for a special education or research project? Does your scientific project have a social impact? And are you looking for financing for your project? This autumn, the Amsterdam University Fund (AUF) will make € 200,000 available for projects by young researchers up to € 25,000 per application.

Purpose AUF Impact Call  

The Amsterdam University Fund (AUF) wants to create a positive impact for future generations through subsidies. We do this by supporting UvA research and education projects around three important social themes: green future, strong society, healthy and connected generations. With this AUF Impact Call we want to support young people at the start of their scientific career. In this way we work together on solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Themes of the AUF Impact Call

  • Green Future: The AUF supports projects that contribute to a more sustainable world. This includes sustainable innovation, climate-resilient solutions, and societal behavior change.
  • Strong Society: To make the world more just and prosperous, the AUF is also looking for projects that have a positive impact on a national and/or international scale. This includes initiatives that create equal opportunities and strengthen the rule of law and democracy, or projects that shape the citizenship of the future.
  • Healthy and Connected Generations: Or perhaps you have a project that contributes to the well-being of young people. This could include initiatives that promote mental, physical, and digital health, as well as talent development. Projects focusing on intergenerational connections are also eligible.

Who is eligible?
The AUF is primarily targeting young, talented researchers with this call:

  • You are employed by the UvA (University of Amsterdam) or Amsterdam UMC (Amsterdam University Medical Centers).
  • You have received your PhD no more than five years ago, that is, after January 1, 2020. The NWO extension scheme applies.
