With a new subsidy scheme for the period 2022-2026, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management is funding the implementation of research that contributes to emission reduction in construction through the development of effective construction logistics chains, the development of further digitalisation, or chain management activities as part of the Clean and Emission-Free Construction (SEB) approach.
TKI Logistics (Dinalog) issues calls for research proposals for this purpose. These are open calls, in one or two annual rounds. The research questions are published in appropriate channels, such as here on the TKI Dinalog website and via various media channels. After publication, consortia consisting of knowledge institutions and private and possibly public parties are invited to submit specific proposals within the conditions and guidelines of the grant programme and this guide.
Call 3 - 2024: Deel B
With this third call, TKI Dinalog is issuing a call for research proposals specifically on part B. This innovation programme is part of the Knowledge and Innovation Programme Emission-free Building, which is part of the overarching roadmap Clean and Emission-free Building (SEB). SEB's aim is to achieve 60% nitrogen reduction (NOx), 75% health gain and 0.4 Mton CO2 reduction in the construction sector by 2030.
In Annex 1 of the Explanatory Memorandum (Annex 1 Ranking Criteria and Weighting), item 12 incorrectly states that a proposal must score 3 or more points on the knock-out ranking criterion 12 'Reduction NOx' to be eligible for a grant. This must be score 6 or more points to be eligible. This criterion only applies to applications for grant under Part B: Clean and Emission-Free Construction.

Research into, among other things, making construction logistics more sustainable and the role of digitalisation, the logistical impact of sustainable materials and modular building concepts, multimodal organisation of construction flows and chain management functions in construction logistics are the focus of this third call for research under Part B.
Available budget
The budget available for this call is €2,500,000 and has the following guidelines for shaping the projects:
This call focuses on industrial or fundamental research or experimental development.
For industrial and fundamental research a maximum of 50% of the eligible costs can be applied for with a maximum of €1,000.000 in funding.
For experimental development a maximum of 25% of eligible costs can be applied for with a maximum of €1,000,000 in funding.
Minimum project size is €500,000 in project costs.
Collaborative projects are research projects carried out by a consortium of knowledge institutions, companies and possibly public parties (public parties cannot be recipients of subsidies). The minimum size of a consortium is two companies and one knowledge institution. This can be two private companies or at least one private company and one public institution. Consortia in which several knowledge disciplines and/or universities and practice-oriented researchers (universities of applied sciences and/or TO2 institutions) work together are strongly encouraged.
