Dialogic is evaluating the state of space research in the Netherlands on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). This research aims to inventory research groups for which space research is primary (the core), as well as to create a picture of research groups for which space research is of great importance but secondary (the shell). The goal of the research is to provide insight into the significant scientific disciplines, existing collaborations, research themes, potential scientific breakthroughs, and the scientific and societal impact of Dutch space research.
For this study, Dialogic will employ a combination of qualitative research (sourcing material from research groups and conducting interviews) and quantitative bibliometric research. This involves distinguishing three levels: the micro-level of individual research groups from which we collect data, the meso-level of the national research being evaluated, and the macro-level of international research serving as a benchmark and broader context.
