The Philips university cluster projects are intended to stimulate more collaboration between the company and Dutch knowledge institutions and to anchor Philips' R&D function in the Netherlands. The university cluster projects form a relatively small part of the total package of agreements with Philips (the so-called Framework Agreement); coordination is done by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. On behalf of the Ministry, Dialogic conducted an evaluation to assess the contribution of the university cluster projects to:
1. strengthening the structural collaboration between Philips and Dutch knowledge institutions,
2. promoting mutual knowledge transfer between Dutch knowledge institutions and Philips. The evaluation was published at the end of October 2005.
