Wildcards 2024
For 2024 we have two categories of wildcards. On the one hand, we are funding four promising follow-up wildcards, on the other, we are funding six outreach projects. The former allows wildcards from 2022 or 2023 to continue with or build on their projects. The outreach wildcards aim at communicating WUR efforts in the fields of the bioeconomy, circular economy, or carbon economy that connect to the Investment Theme’s focus areas textiles, and building materials.
