Are you curious about the project ideas that were submitted for the NWO TDCC Challenge Call 2025 in the Social Sciences and Humanities domain? Attend these online sessions, where you can hear pitches of each project idea, engage in discussion, and even team up and join a project!

After completing Step 1 (submitting Expressions of Interest), all viable Expressions of Interest proceeded to Step 2 (refining the idea).

On 13, 14, and 15 May 2025, we will host online matchmaking sessions. In these sessions, all Expression of Interest submitters present their project idea briefly (pitch-format). Matchmaking is facilitated through short breakout discussions.

Here is the schedule and the Project Idea working title:
