## Eligibility & scope

Subsidy round run in collaboration with TKI Dinalog and Topsector Logistiek for exploratory research with practice partners.

## Summary

KIEM Logistiek funds small-scale exploratory research projects in logistics, run by Regieorgaan SIA together with TKI Dinalog and Topsector Logistiek. It requires a consortium of a Dutch research organisation (typically a university of applied sciences) working with one or more practice partners, and applications are accepted on a continuous basis.

## Who should apply

- Researchers at Dutch universities of applied sciences or research organisations
- Applicants able to form a consortium with practice partners in the logistics sector
- Projects proposing exploratory or early-stage research rather than full-scale studies
- Teams working with TKI Dinalog or within Topsector Logistiek networks

## Key dates

- Deadline 15 September 2026, 14:00
- Call runs continuously, so further rounds are expected after this deadline

## Tips for applicants

- Secure a committed practice partner early, the consortium requirement is checked closely given the applied, exploratory nature of KIEM funding.
- Frame the project as exploratory groundwork for larger follow-on research, since this fits the KIEM format rather than a full research programme.
- Coordinate with TKI Dinalog or Topsector Logistiek contacts before submitting, as they co-run this round and can flag fit with current logistics priorities.
