| Academic Proof of Concept Fund Amsterdam |
Funding for a feasibility study.
Do you have an innovation or invention that needs further development, but its practical feasibility and/or the (commercial) exploitation opportunities are still uncertain? Then you may be eligible for funding from the Academic Proof of Concept Fund Amsterdam (APCA)!
In a Proof of Concept study the conceptual, social, technical and/or economic feasibility is determined. For example, by addressing one of the following questions: Can an experimental setup be scaled up to a full production line? A mobile app is much appreciated by some participants as a demo, but what happens if used by laymen on a larger scale?
An application for the APCA fund can be done at IXA. The application may not exceed € 45,000, of which 50% is a loan and 50% needs to be matched (cash or in kind) by the applicant. Read more.
This project is made possible by the City of Amsterdam. |

| ‘Check before Submit’: notorious predatory journals and publishers |

The professor was wrongfully mentioned as the chairman of the Editorial Board of UK based Open Access Publishing London Ltd. Open Access Publishing London therefore unlawfully misused the names of both the professor as well as the UvA, thereby claiming credibility with their credentials.
