The TDCC-NES Ontology Support Programme offers free, practical support to researchers in the Dutch Natural and Engineering Sciences domain who want to make their research outputs more FAIR, reusable, and machine-actionable.

We can help with getting started with ontologies and linked data, selecting suitable standards and tools, mapping data or terminology to ontology terms, modelling concepts and relationships, reviewing semantic architectures, publishing linked data knowledge graphs, and organising consultations, workshops, or training.

You do not need prior experience with ontologies, linked data, or Semantic Web technologies. We are looking for projects with a clear ontology-related challenge, an engaged research team, a realistic timeline within the 2026–2027 academic year, and outputs or lessons that could be reused by others.

This form should take about 10 minutes to complete. Please apply by Friday 10 July 2026. We will inform applicants by Friday 7 August 2026.
