Survey

Linking academia with industry in materials science.

We want to facilitate and strengthen the connection between academic and industrial researchers working in materials science in The Netherlands. The goal of this survey is to understand better what are the main challenges that researchers and entrepreneurs face when wanting to connect with other members of the community.
