Expertise Function for the Sensory Disabled (Expertisefunctie Zintuiglijk Gehandicapten)

Funds research that improves communication and support for people with sensory disabilities.

The Expertisefunctie Zintuiglijk Gehandicapten programme supports the development and practical dissemination of knowledge for people with sensory disabilities in the Netherlands, covering both auditory/communicative limitations and visual impairments. The programme runs concurrent calls for knowledge creation (Nieuwe kennis creëren) and knowledge-to-practice transfer (Kennis dichter bij de praktijk) across both disability categories, plus a rolling small-grants strand (Klein maar fijn). Five calls were simultaneously open at time of fetch (May 2026).
