3. Can I link my own research programme to a factsheet?
You can send our webmaster a message requesting him to list your programme on the factsheet of the theme to which your programme relates. In order for us to process your contribution we would like to receive some background information, such as a programme description, strategic agenda, etc. Within the next few months it will also be possible to include your organisation in our database together with the relevant themes and tasks, after which they can be accessed by others.
4. I possess supplementary information or more recent information than what is written on a factsheet. Can I pass it on?
Yes, please do. Your contribution will strengthen us. Please send our webmaster a message requesting him to add the new information to the relevant factsheet, replace the old information or launch a web forum via the link on the factsheet. You will, however, have to register and log on in order to prevent SPAM.
5. Who has identified the themes?
The taxonomy of the MIKK was taken care of by Agentschap NL in association with NWO and TNO. The basis of the taxonomy comprises over 150 documents: policy plans, key area agendas, the innovation programmes of several Ministries, university sector schemes, the ‘Pieken in de Delta’ programme, TNO and NWO themes, Social Innovation agendas, etc.
It furthermore contains analyses of the plans and agendas of the ‘Zevende Kader’ programme, Eureka, five Joint Technology Initiatives, four European Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and twenty foresight-studies for the purpose of charting European and emerging themes. And finally, experts were also consulted.
6. I have read the manual, but I still need help. Is there a helpdesk available?
No, there is no helpdesk available, but you can always send our webmaster an e-mail at (mikk@agentschapnl.nl).
7. How often are supplementations processed in the MIKK?
Supplementations are processed weekly. The taxonomy is periodically reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted by AgentschapNL in association with NWO and TNO.
