Rubicon grants
Rubicon grants Two young, promising VU researchers have received a Rubicon grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). These recently graduated scholars can do their research at foreign research institutes thanks to a Rubicon grant from NWO and ZonMw.For many researchers, experience abroad is an important step in their career. The Rubicon programme gives young, highly promising researchers the opportunity to gain international research experience. Cognitive psychologist Evert Boonstra receives the grant for his research: From virtual biological systems to virtual reality. Biological systems sustain themselves by embodying their immediate surroundings. This process can be understood as a mathematical model requiring constant (re-)alignment with these surroundings. The current project investigates how a virtual biological system does this compared to humans, and lays a new basis for research into psychiatric disorders.
