On 2 April 1999, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) was founded by the Flemish Government, the Province of West Flanders, and the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders (FWO) with the aim of creating a central and flexible support structure for marine scientific research in Flanders. Since then, VLIZ has developed into the coordination and information platform for marine scientific research in Flanders. On behalf of the Flemish Department of Economy, Science and Innovation, we have evaluated the effectiveness and efficiency of VLIZ over the period 2010-2015. Additionally, the evaluation looked ahead to the period 2017-2021. The results of the evaluation will be the basis for establishing a new agreement between the Flemish government and VLIZ.
