How we work
Together with the Netspar partners, we establish a four-year research agenda. Netspar offers calls for short-term or long-term projects at various times during the year.
The multidisciplinary research is coordinated in five programs. There are three program coordinators who act as a point of contact and sounding board for the project leaders.
