The grants are part of the Dutch Research Council’s Talent Programme, which offers Veni grants for beginning researchers, Vidi grants for more experienced researchers and Vici grants for researchers with long and proven track records.
The grants derive their name from a message Julius Caesar sent to the Roman Senate in 47 BC following a victory on the battlefield: veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered).
