59 letters of intent submitted to SRC programme calls

The first stage of the Strategic Research Council’s (SRC) call for the 2024 programmes closed on 21 March. The two programmes attracted a total of 59 letters of intent. The letters of intent were submitted as follows:

• 37 letters of intent to SRC programme Democracy for the Future (DEMOC)
• 22 letters of intent to SRC programme Water for Welfare, Security and Peace (WAWE)

Next, review panels will assess the letters of intent for their scientific quality, societal relevance and impact. They will also consider how well the letters of intent match the programmes. The SRC will decide the projects that will go through to the second call stage in May (tentative schedule).
