Transatlantic Research CollaborationOverview of Dutch Scientific expertise

[email protected]


Dutch – U.S. Roots

Collaboration the essence of our culture

Accelerate adoption and development of clean energy & smart grid solutions

Facilitate mutually beneficial collaboration for U.S. & Dutch research institutions

However, no overview of research activities, no access to funding, no contacts established
