Public-private partnerships

Companies and public-sector and social organisations can also work with us in public-private partnerships, which can take the form of a short-term project or a long-term program. These activities fall within the scope of Demand-Driven Programs, or the Knowledge Transfer Program designed specifically for SMEs.

Every year we receive government funding that covers part of the research through the Research Cooperation Funds (SMO, Samenwerkingsmiddelen Onderzoek). The remainder of the funding comes from the partner(s).

The Demand-Driven Programs fall within the nine top sectors or the five social themes that the Ministry of Economic Affairs has defined together with key stakeholders. If you can provide input, or you would like to know how to participate, please contact us.

Informatietype:: Insight

4 December 2025

With over 100 locks and weirs—many of them ageing—the Netherlands faces a complex challenge: how do we gain a complete picture of the maintenance required for infrastructure built over the past century? Together with Rijkswaterstaat, TNO is investigating construction methods, variations in concrete types, and regional differences in the design and construction of hydraulic structures.
