At the request of the Netherlands Space Office (NSO), Dialogic has evaluated the Knowledge Networks Scheme (KNW) and the Instrument Development Programme (IOP).
Both schemes are part of the national space policy. The aim of both schemes is to promote collaboration between knowledge institutions, universities, businesses, users, and other organizations in the Netherlands to maintain and strengthen the position of the Netherlands in the development and use of space instruments (for applications in science, government, and the market). Both schemes focus on instrument development, an important aspect of Dutch space activities.
The evaluation shows, among other things, that both schemes are predominantly effective and efficient and play a significant role in the space policy mix. Both funding instruments contribute to enhancing the Dutch position in the field of space instruments.
