The maintenance and development of the agri-food sector and green space are seen as matters of public interest. The government must therefore take (partial) responsibility for an adequate knowledge system, ensuring the economic competitive position is maintained and addressing socio-economic and societal challenges. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ) therefore finances a part of the research conducted by the DLO Foundation through the DLO Subsidy Scheme. Every seven years, this subsidy scheme undergoes an evaluation to determine its effectiveness and efficiency. This year, it is time to evaluate the DLO Subsidy Scheme again. The current evaluation consists of a general part assessing the various components of the DLO scheme for the 2008-2014 period, as well as a specific part focused on the KB programme from 2011-2014.
