With the Incentive Fund Knowledge Events, the Province of Utrecht invests in the acquisition of multi-day national and international scientific conferences that reflect on a healthy city and region for everyone. The corresponding topics are healthy, green and smart. The grant is intended for non-profit organisations, national or international scientific institutions/associations or an authorised representative thereof.
The grant can be applied for up until 1 January 2026 and will be awarded if certain conditions are met. Namely:
- It is a new knowledge event (on the themes of green, healthy and/or smart) in the province of Utrecht;
- The event will last at least one half-day and will be attended by at least 50 persons;
- and, in the event it is an international knowledge event, at least 50% of the participants are from abroad.
For both national and international knowledge events, the grant awarded will not exceed the total costs eligible for a grant. The costs eligible for a grant are all allocable costs of the knowledge event in question, such as costs of the organisation, location, catering and marketing. Furthermore:
- The grant for a national knowledge event is no more than 7.50 euros per participant per day, to a maximum of 7,500 euros.
- The grant for an international knowledge event is no more than 10 euros per participant per day, to a maximum of 15,000 euros.
