THEME PROJECTS

These Netspar projects are intended to stimulate entrepreneurship, commitment and coherence. Every year, Netspar allocates up to € 1 million each to theme-based projects (grant procedure). The projects run for three years and are executed by a team of researchers from various universities and institutes. Theme projects involve all three pillars of Netspar: knowledge development, knowledge exchange and human capital.
