Contract research is research conducted by Nyenrode researchers,
initiated by an organization on a contractual basis. Your organization
can request specific research activities from the researcher(s) you
prefer.
You can find the profile of Nyenrode Faculty in the Expertise Finder.
Such activities can differ from knowledge transfer and consultancy
to academic research.

Conditions
We work with customized ‘contract research packages’. The budget
of the project depends on the volume of the research, the number of
researchers involved, the deadline and the time planning of the project.

Research activities are also valuable in terms of tax reduction when
pure sponsorship is included in the contract. Large innovation
vouchers, provided by SenterNovem (agency of Ministry of Economic
Affairs) can be utilized for a research cooperation with Nyenrode Business Universiteit.

The position of Nyenrode in terms of methodological quality and independence
Contract research requested by external parties, implemented by, or under the responsibility of Nyenrode Business Universiteit will always be conducted from an independent position. Empirical results will be reported and communicated without any adjustment or subjective selection.

Nyenrode Business Universiteit does not provide advice with regard to commercial application and implementation of the research outcomes, but does present practical, useful recommendations from an applied-academic research perspective.

Nyenrode Business Universiteit guarantees the high level of academic quality and applied research methodology through independent reviewers and advisors.

Methodology and research approaches are always formulated from the highest possible requirements, set by national and international standards in the domain of applied-academic research. These requirements are recognized and used by both academic and business communities.

This approach successfully leads to the best of both worlds: excellently structured, solidly planned and profoundly conducted research leading to relevant, effective and useable recommendations.
