3 NWO Open Competition grants for EUR researchers

Three scientists from Erasmus University Rotterdam receive an Open Competition SSH grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO). Markus Haverland, Daan van Knippenberg and Hub Zwart can use this funding to research European economic reforms, the effects of increasing team diversity and the relevance of Neanderthal research for our self-image, respectively. This funding of up to 750,000 euros gives them the opportunity to do research on a subject of their own choice, without thematic conditions. The three researchers from our university will use the grant for the following: A resilient European Union? European economic reforms meet politicisation - Markus Haverland.
