First round (2008)
For the first round of Uitzicht 19 requests were submitted, three of which were beyond the scope of UitZicht. The total of requested subsidies comes out at Euro 2.5 million of which Euro 760.000 was actually granted, which comes to 30%. The most important reason for this limited granting is the budget of the participating funds.
