"The topic of this thesis was unknown to me before starting this study. By doing this study I improved my perspective on information management and governmental regulation. It is a upcoming debate in science and society, what made this study more interesting to work on. The thesis is mainly written at the office of Neth-ER, the representation of the Dutch knowledge field in Brussels. This period widened my European perspective and the relations with the Netherlands, also because I was living in Brussels for six months. Knowledge and research is important for society because research can improve (the processes in) society. The topic of this research is an example of that aim to improve and boost research and society"
