Open call for funding

Do you have a valuable idea in the area of networking and internet technology, privacy and trust enhancing technologies or search and discovery? What is important for us is that the technology you develop or help promote is usable for others and has the potential for real impact. Currently we are open to project proposals for the following themes: NLnet Foundation (in Dutch: Stichting NLnet) is a philanthropic (private) not-for-profit organisation that invests its own trust funds as well as funds that it manages on behalf of other organisations such as the European Commission to bring the open information society closer. The foundation supports strategic initiatives that contribute to an open information society, especially where these are aimed at development and dissemination of open standards and (network related) open source technology. NLnet foundation has historically supported a large array of activities, from development of software and hardware, standardisation work and development of educational material up to hacker festivals, digital rights activities and the international development of open source software licences. The NLnet contribution can also be used as so called "matching" for other subsidies from organisations such as national governments and science foundations.
