The Route Materials – made in Holland is actively participating in composing a National Research Agenda Materials – made in Holland, with input from all stakeholders at universities, NWO institutes, TTOs, Universities of Applied Sciences and the Dutch Materials Industry. To complete the National Agenda it is important to include an estimate of the impact of materials research on the national economy (gross domestic product), earning capacity and the number of jobs it creates. We intend to outsource this study to Roland Berger Company. By including the results of the Roland Berger study the National Agenda will significantly gain in strength and relevance. This will benefit the entire materials research community in the Netherlands. The Report will also help materials researchers in the Netherlands to form consortia on well-targeted topics in order to apply for grants from the NWA.
