Over the years, RAND has made numerous contributions to addressing pressing policy challenges in the Netherlands, including defence, security, emerging technologies, crime, justice and healthcare. RAND has an office in the Netherlands hosting a pool of Dutch and international researchers with a diverse and multidisciplinary background. Our researchers combine a solid understanding of the Dutch national context with deep thematic and methodological expertise.
