Visie op de toekomst van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek: speerpunten voor beleid -- Bijlagen [Vision of the Future of Scientific Research: Focal Points for Policy -- Appendices]

These are appendices to the full report, in which RAND Europe conducted a series of four seminar games for the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to investigate under a variety of possible futures the role of policy in sustaining high quality scientific research. They found: 1) No revolutionary changes are needed to the Dutch policy vision of scientific research, 2) There are two independent values driving the need for scientific research: science as a tool for improving society and scientific knowledge as an inherent good, 3) A lot of the criticism of current science policies results from anxiety arising from uncertainty and confusion about what these policies are and how they are implemented.
