Course description

VLAG 2020 Open Round grantees pitch their project ideas

The VLAG Open Round has been valued collaboration instrument for 20 years and it resulted in more than 80 PhD and 15 Postdoctoral research projects.

The last Open Round was organised in the last months of 2020, in line with the policy to support young VLAG researchers and to strengthen new VLAG Research Themes. And yet this it was very different from the previous rounds, in many ways.
