> The Rathenau Instituut contributes to the public debate and political
> deliberation about scientific and technological developments. The
> institute
> analyzes the consequences of science and technology for society. The
> agenda
> of the institute is developed in interaction with the social and political
> environment. Recently, the institute started to set up a new unit for
> Science System Assessment. The Rathenau Instituut is an independent
> organization, established in 1986 by the Netherlands Ministry of
> Education,
> Culture and Science. Administratively, it is part of the Royal Netherlands
> Academy of Arts and Sciences.
>
> The mission of the new Science System Assessment
> unit is to conduct basic, strategic and applied
> research on the functioning and dynamics of the
> science system, in relation to internal scientific
> and technological changes, and in relation to
> external societal, economic, and political changes.
> The research program covers a broad range of
> issues, from the micro level of the research group
> to the macro level of institutional structures of
> the science system. An important theme in the
> research program is the development of existing
> and emerging scientific and technological fields.
> Although the focus is on the Netherlands
> science system, the research will generally take
> an international comparative perspective.
> The research program is under development and
> will be multidisciplinary in terms of its theoretical
> and methodological approach. Apart from
> original research, the Science System Assessment
> unit will offer independent analysis to support
> science policy in the Netherlands. The research
> of the unit will result in scholarly publications,
> but also in publications that inform the relevant
> stakeholders and public debate.
> At this time, the unit consists of four researchers.
> Three additional positions have now become
> available for which candidates are invited to apply.
> In 2006, the unit is expected to grow further to
> a size of at least ten staff members. Head of the
> unit is prof. dr. Peter van den Besselaar.
