समयसीमा और प्रक्रिया
चयन प्रक्रिया
Applications are rigorously evaluated based on the project's focus on technical development, strict adherence to open licenses and standards, and the clarity and originality of the proposal. The evaluation also considers the anticipated technical challenges, the project's ecosystem engagement, and the applicant's relevant experience and background. For EU-supported funds, a strong European dimension is a critical selection criterion. The selection committee, comprised of NLnet representatives and experts, reviews proposals, prioritizing those that align with NLnet's mission to boost digital autonomy and support the open internet. Proposals are expected to be self-contained, with any supplementary material being truly additional rather than essential for understanding the core proposal.
