LUF Praesidium Libertatis Grant

The Praesidium Libertatis Grant of € 75.000,- is awarded to a young talented researcher, who is able to (further) develop innovative and original research ideas. The grant is also meant to be a first step towards larger grants. Applications will be assessed by the LUF Committee for Academic Expenditure (CWB). 

The next round is in the spring of 2024. The conditions and application procedure will be similar to those of 2022 (see the tile on the right side of this page (or below on your phone) for the conditions and application procedure).

Per faculty two applications may be submitted, so there is a pre-selection. Each faculty has a contact person, who coordinates this process. He or she is also the contact person for LUF's regular project grants.
