1. OPUS 8, intended for a wide range of applicants, irrespective of their research experience (proposals submitted under this scheme may include the purchase or construction of research equipment);
2. PRELUDIUM 8, aimed at pre-doctoral researchers beginning their career in research;
3. SONATA 8, addressed to emerging researchers with a doctorate that has been held for a maximum of 5 years.
