The Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) conducts research, advices and assists the government to promote public health and a safe living environment. In 2013, the RIVM Strategic Programme (SPR) has been set up to implement a translational and integrated approach to research and innovation, in line with the agenda of Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports, the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment and the European research agenda Horizon 2020. With this programme, the RIVM wants to generate knowledge that is scientifically relevant and of practical use in policy support.
Exon Consultancy guided the implementation process by helping to identify the most relevant research topics and formulate them into project proposals. We provided support in the process of elaborating and accentuating the project proposals, translating them into final research proposals.
