This document outlines the collaboration between various Dutch research institutes, focusing on the achievements and future of particle physics research, particularly through the LHC and astroparticle physics. Highlighting key findings from the Higgs boson explorations and gravitational wave observations, it emphasizes the need for sustained funding to maintain research vitality and innovation. The strategic plan outlines funding requirements, ongoing projects, and collaborations, aiming to ensure continued success in the fields of high-energy physics and cosmology.

Obviously, the LHC-physics or astroparticlephysicspart of the mission budget should not suffer …… It would allow Nikhef to continue with its grid and detector R&D projects, which have shown to be excellent breeding ground for valorisation activities and to be successful in acquiring additional funding, thus contributing heavily to Nikhef’s earning power. Strategisch Plan sectie 5.2 NWO-evaluatie The temporary increase of the mission budget by NWO and the dynamiseringsimpuls is coming to an end. The committee recommends that this is compensated by an increase in the mission budget of 1.1 M€/year to enable Nikhef to maintain its vitality and to achieve its goals. The increasing activity of knowledge and technology transfer (from an already excellent level) is a strong argument for not reducing the institute’s base funding. evaluation report
LHC upgrade, selected (no funds requested yet) “The strong link with technology and with computing fits well in the current priorities of the top sectors.” KM3NeT, selected (no funds requested yet) “Moreover, this facility fits well with the top sector policy, since high-end technology is involved in all aspects of the project.” E-infrastructuur, selected(but not funded) “E-infrastructuur is een cruciaal element voor een geavanceerde kennismaatschappij …” nationale roadmap
