In the Netherlands, a substantial part of applied research is carried out by applied research organisations (Deltares, Marin, NLR, TNO and WUR). The evaluation study which was completed at the beginning of 2021 looked at the quality, impact and vitality of the research of these research organisations and the system as a whole. Technopolis Group supported the appointed evaluation committee in collaboration with partners. The committee concluded that the public funding of these institutes is effective and efficient. A more detailed description of the study, the bottlenecks and recommendations can be found in the evaluation report.
