The Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) is an independent
strategic advisory body for government policy in the Netherlands. It advises the
Dutch government and Parliament on long-term strategic issues that are of great
importance for society. The WRR provides science-based advice aimed at: opening
up new perspectives and directions, changing problem definitions, setting new
policy goals, investigating new resources for problem-solving and enriching the
public debate.
The studies of the WRR do not focus on one particular policy area, but on cross-
cutting issues that affect future policymaking in multiple domains. A long-term
perspective complements the day-to-day policymaking, which often concentrates
on issues that dominate today’s policy agenda.
The WRR consists of a Council and an academic staff who work closely together
in multidisciplinary project teams. Council members are appointed by the King, and
hold academic chairs at universities, currently in fields as diverse as economics,
sociology, law, public administration and governance, health and water management.
The WRR determines its own work programme, as well as the content of its
publications. All its work is externally reviewed before publication.
The Research for Policy Series
In this series, we publish internationally relevant studies of the Netherlands
Scientific Council for Government Policy. Many of the cross-cutting issues that
affect Dutch policymaking, also challenge other Western countries or international
bodies. By publishing these studies in this international open access scientific series,
we hope that our analyses and insights can contribute to the policy debate in other
countries.
