The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has been publishing a biennial Monitor since 1994 containing all key figures on the Dutch science and technology system, the 'Science and Technology Indicators'. This is also an internationally authoritative source for R&D statistics. The underlying research has been conducted over the past 16 years by the Netherlands Observatory of Science and Technology, a collaboration between the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University and the Maastricht Economic and Social Research and Training center on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) at Maastricht University.
In 2010, OC&W re-tendered the NOWT research. The tender was won by Dialogic. Therefore, Dialogic will prepare the WTI study for the period 2011-2014 in collaboration with the Norwegian research institute NIFU STEP.
During 2011, a new website for Science and Technology Indicators will be launched, providing interactive access to the vast amount of data that will be collected for this project.
The WTI study 2011-2014 covers a wide range of indicators in the field of science and technology policy. The attached figure gives an initial impression of the study's scope.
Contact person for Dialogic is Dr. Pim den Hertog
