FOM Valorisation Memorandum
In May 2008, FOM published a memorandum entitled 'Fundamental research for society', Valorisation at FOM. In this FOM describes what it will do over the next few years to ensure, wherever possible, that its fundamental research is made more useful for society. Besides the key objective of being 'top 5 in the world in terms of research quality' FOM now has a second objective: valorisation.
The memorandum describes five focus areas:
1. programming of a research agenda relevant to society
2. collaborating with industry
3. encouraging entrepreneurship
4. working towards a complete change of culture in the organisation
5. protecting and capitalising knowledge
The full version of the memorandum is only available in Dutch.
