The Innovation Platform aims to initiate a movement to highlight and promote the importance of a coordinated excellence strategy for science in the Netherlands. The idea is to present an analysis in June 2009 that provides initial answers to the following questions:
- What are the main strengths and weaknesses of the Dutch science system? Specifically, what are the key barriers to achieving excellence and a coordinated excellence strategy?
- Which trends (threats and opportunities) and developments influence the way in which (top) science is evolving? What possible implications do these trends and developments have for a new excellence strategy for Dutch science?
- What are the key characteristics of some inspiring examples of countries that have truly embarked on the movement towards more excellent science (national excellence strategies)? What are the main tools or control variables for a strategy focused on excellence?
