netidee Call 16: Final spurt!

netidee, the funding program of the Internet Stiftung, funds innovative projects and university theses on the topic of the internet. The call is open until July 26, 2021.

Following the tender phase, an independent jury – the netidee Advisory Board for Funding – evaluates the submitted applications based on specific criteria: In addition to the quality of the application, the probability of a successful completion plays a central role. Furthermore, the extent to which the project or thesis contributes to the achievement of netidee's mission is evaluated.

Based on these criteria, the jury nominates projects for the funding as a recommendation to the board of the Internet Stiftung. The presentation of this year's funding recipients will take place at the netidee "best of" gala on November 24, 2021.
