The Dutch Research Agenda
The Dutch Research Agenda (NWA) connects science and society by jointly tackling societal challenges and achieving social and scientific breakthroughs. The agenda is based on questions posed by people in the Netherlands themselves.
This website provides an overview of NWA’s projects, programmes and pathways. It highlights the links between research, societal challenges and the Agenda. This creates an overview of the connections between questions, pathways and projects, and their contribution to knowledge development and societal impact.
