In times of crisis, it is crucial for the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy to make its expertise available and to be an valuable partner in ongoing discussions.
WRR’s role in the COVID-19 crisis
It is the WRR’s aim to provide support for the government and for parliament as they tackle the consequences of the coronavirus outbreak for the Netherlands. In view of the WRR’s remit, this will not take the form of suggestions for ready-made policy measures. Instead it will seek to guide the choices that the Netherlands faces with respect to a future that is clouded in uncertainty.
