NWA Digitale Technologie en Werk

NWA Digitale Technologie en Werk is a call for research consortia to develop knowledge about the impact of digital technologies on work and workers and to produce actionable perspectives for policymakers and organisations. It funds multi- and interdisciplinary consortia across the research knowledge chain and supports research that informs healthy, safe, human-centred and inclusive deployment of digital technologies in workplaces. Projects may address technological, organisational and societal interactions and aim to deliver insights for policy and organisational practice.

Project subsidy (min €2,750,000; max €2,865,000) and funding for personnel, equipment, investments and knowledge utilisation; maximum project duration 72 months.

Applications must be submitted by a main applicant on behalf of a consortium that can include co-applicants, collaboration partners and optional co-financiers; the call targets knowledge institutions, organisations and societal parties forming multi- and interdisciplinary consortia.
