Flanders has a number of Strategic Research Centres (SOCs). These research centres were established to facilitate the transition from fundamental research to technical-industrial developments. The research centres play an important role in the transformation of the Flemish economy, including the establishment of spin-offs.
An important milestone during this governmental term is the evaluation of three of these SOCs in 2016. Dialogic evaluated iMinds, Imec and VIB based on the set objectives and performance agreements, providing answers to questions such as:
- How innovative are the research themes?
- How do the research centres perform?
- What is the quality of the new strategic plan for 2017-2022?
