Research and advice from Dialogic almost always involve current, socially relevant issues. Policymakers use the outcomes and insights from our work in policy formation. Many of our reports are presented to the House of Representatives, or make national headlines.
In Dutch politics
Many of the studies conducted by Dialogic stem from questions posed by Members of Parliament to a minister or state secretary. Once the research is completed, it is often presented to the House of Representatives, along with a covering letter from the minister or state secretary expressing their views on the findings. Sometimes, such a parliamentary letter may lead to a debate. Therefore, our research forms the basis for (political) decision-making. An overview of recent parliamentary letters can be found at tweedekamer.nl.
In the national media
Occasionally, our research results make their way into the national media – usually when addressing current affairs. Below is a list of recent articles referring to our research:
- NOS: Much-discussed gambling law does not work: vulnerable players are not sufficiently protected (also NOS Journaal, Radio 1)
- FD: Rabo: growth funds generate tens of billions in prosperity gains
- FD: Only two tax arrangements score positively on all points
- FD: Consternation over restriction of expat scheme: attracting talent 'becomes quite difficult'
- FD: Escaping the curse of the tax arrangement
- NRC: 1 in 3 expats still in the Netherlands after 7 years
- FD: New state bank must save SME entrepreneurs
- NRC: Low VAT rate 'inefficient' according to research
- FD: Evaluation: reduced VAT rate costly and ineffective
- NRC: Statute of limitations protects wrong institutions
Although we mainly work in the Netherlands and Flanders, our work is occasionally picked up by international media outlets:
- Financial Times: Weighing up business schools’ work on sustainability. This article describes a method for evaluating business schools regarding their relevance to sustainability issues. Dialogic, in close collaboration with Rotterdam School of Management, developed the underlying analysis method.
- Reuters: Exclusive: EU Commission to intervene in tech, carmakers’ patent dispute – document. In 2020, Dialogic conducted a study for the European Commission to determine whether certain patents are truly essential for a particular standard.
In other research or environments
Our research reports are generally published publicly and can be found on our website or the client's website. As a result, our work is frequently referenced in other studies. Our work also reaches the courtroom – in various cases, references are made to Dialogic's studies.
In the academic world
Occasionally, a study by Dialogic leads to an academic publication (in a scientific journal) or contributes to a (scientific) conference. A few examples include:
- Bekkers et al. (2022). Overcoming inefficiencies in patent licensing: A method to assess patent essentiality for technical standards in Research Policy
- Van der Vorst et al. (2019). Understanding the demand growth for digital connectivity Presentation at the ITS conference in Seoul.
- Jelicic et al. (2019). Artificial Intelligence in Education: Can AI bring the full potential of personalized learning to education? Presentation at the ITS conference in Helsinki.
- Sahebali et al. (2021) Rolling out of fibre optic networks in intermediate versus urban areas: An exploratory spatial analysis in the Netherlands in Telecommunications Policy
