The resources come from the named funds of the LUF, the project grants funds of Stichting Praesidium Libertatis I and from the collaboration of the LUF with the Gratama Foundation, the Elise Mathilde Fund and the Packaging and Environment Foundation. These grants for academic talent often form an important springboard for applications to NWO and other large granting funds.

The CWB received 52 applications for a LUF grant for consideration at their meeting in March 2022. All the applications were assessed on three criteria: 1) their scientific importance and innovative character, 2) the problem statement and methodology, and 3) the ambitions of the applicant and the quality of their CV. Given the available funding and, for some of the applications, the outcome of an assessment by external foundations, 24 applications were awarded a grant.
