Research networks

"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants."

Why networks?

Key to the progress of science is the (inter)national collaboration in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary networks with other academics, non-academic organisations and different actors in society. Often this is in temporary consortia or projects, other times this collaboration is more formalized.
