Amsterdam gets institute for groundbreaking technology for Defence
Published
Amsterdam is getting a new institute that is to develop groundbreaking technology for Defence. That is what Het Parool reports. The institute is being set up on the model of the United States.
In the United States, institutes already exist that conduct research into new technology for the military. These institutes often work together with universities, knowledge institutions and companies. The aim is to develop new applications more quickly and make them suitable for military use.
The report does not yet provide full details about the funding, the precise tasks and the timetable of the institute. As a result, it is not yet clear which projects it will take on first. It is also not known which partners will be involved exactly.
The news fits into a broader discussion in the Netherlands about the role of defence research and innovation. More information about the institute is expected in the coming period.
