NWO Call: Subversive Crime

Participate in the NWO Call: Subversive crime from De Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek!  

Subversive crime has a disruptive effect on social and economic structures. Interdisciplinary public-private consortia in the field of subversive crime are invited to apply for funding to collaborate in research. The upcoming public-private consortia will develop knowledge on subversive criminal phenomena, systems, networks and modus operandi. Specific research regarding the foundations, motivations, mechanisms and structures is needed. This knowledge will lead to development of new perspectives on action, intervention, instruments of technology and operation techniques.
 

For whom?

The main applicant and one or more co-applicants will submit the pre-applications and completed applications. An application is prepared by a consortium, who also involves the participants and other applicants. A consortium always consists of two or more co-funders and can be possibly amplified by one or more cooperation partners.
