To stimulate innovative scientific research and provide researchers with an attractive career perspective in academia, the Vernieuwingsimpuls (VI) programme was launched a few years ago. This is a joint programme of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, NWO, KNAW, and the VSNU. NWO is responsible for implementing the Vernieuwingsimpuls. The goal of the Vernieuwingsimpuls is to innovate scientific research. The programme focuses on giving talented, creative researchers the opportunity to conduct their research and to transition into or within scientific research institutions. The Vernieuwingsimpuls is person-oriented, offering talented researchers the chance to conduct research of their choice and promote progression within scientific research institutions. The VI is characterised by three personal grant forms (Veni, Vidi, and Vici) for different stages in researchers' scientific careers.
In 2003, the Vernieuwingsimpuls was evaluated by Technopolis and Dialogic. This evaluation focused on procedures and processes related to the Vernieuwingsimpuls. With several years having passed since then, it is now more feasible to determine the impact of the Vernieuwingsimpuls on scientific outputs and careers, particularly of female laureates.
Dialogic, in collaboration with Technopolis, is conducting a thorough evaluation of the Vernieuwingsimpuls programme, focusing on the efficiency of implementation; the programme's impact on innovative, creative, and high-quality research by talented researchers; and the programme's effect on the dynamics of scientific personnel development at research institutions.
