TDCC Call 2025 Open – Join the Process Early

We are pleased to share that the Dutch Research (NWO) will launch a new 2025 funding call to support the digitalization ambitions of Thematic Digital Competence Centres (TDCCs) and the communities we serve. This presents an exciting opportunity for teams working on FAIR research data, research software, digital infrastructure, and digital competency development to secure funding for their projects or initiatives.

To apply for NWO funding, all project proposals must include a TDCC domain-specific submission letter. To obtain this letter, applicants must undergo a community selection and refinement process within each relevant TDCC. More details about this process can be found on the updated web pages. Please note, that while the final NWO submission deadline is 20 November 2025, the process to obtain a TDCC submission letter begins much earlier (March/April 2025). Each TDCC follows its own procedures and timeline, so we strongly encourage you to review the details as soon as possible to ensure you meet all requirements.

Only projects that have successfully completed the TDCC selection process will receive a submission letter that is required to apply to NWO. Don't miss this opportunity—start preparing early and submit your idea to the TDCCs to maximize your chances of success!

To help applicants navigate the process, we are also hosting domain-specific online Q&A sessions:

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to your participation!
