Presenting the NWO-granted projects for the TDCC Challenge Call 2023/2024

We are pleased to announce that NWO has approved fourteen projects for the NWO TDCC Challenge Call 2023-2024. This call aimed to fund projects that help realise the digitalisation ambitions of the TDCCs and the communities they serve.

All projects have gone through the TDCC’s transparent, non-competitive, and community-driven process. These projects have varying durations and can run up to 24-36 months, with some of them already having started.
