Reflecting on the methodology. This thesis aims to increase the understanding of how policy is translated to academic practice and how the practice of valorisation can be improved. The delineations in space and time have strengthened the focus of this dissertation, but also have resulted in some limitations and remaining questions. In this section I reflect on these strengths and limitations and on the remaining questions that are in my opinion most important. The primary focus of my study on the Netherlands provides an in-depth understanding of the current situation concerning valorisation policies in this specific country. A broad view on the academic landscape has been obtained by including a wide range of research fields, from the humanities to physics, and a variety of perspectives, from the research programme and univer- sity department to the individual project and individual researcher. The combination of qualita- tive and quantitative studies resulted in complementary data that allowed both for quantita- tively testing generalizability of qualitative findings as well understanding the underlying qualitative dynamics of quantitative results. The trade-off of an in-depth study focusing on a single country is that it is potentially less easily generalised to other countries. Xxx xxx Xxxxxx (1998) showed that national relationships between government and science are embedded in national path dependencies and are therefore inherently different. For example, the Dutch science system is characterised by a dense layer of intermediate organisations to facilitate consensus building. I have found this to be the case concerning valorisation policies as well. At the end of the 2000s government, intermediary organisations and lobby groups negotiated on the valorisation agenda (Nederland Ondernemend Innovatieland 2009). In other countries, for instance Germany, this layer of intermediate organisations is absent. Another difference related to national contexts is the link between research assessments and funding. In the UK, research funds provided by government are directly related to REF outcomes, whereas in the Netherlands the outcomes of SEP evalua- tions are not (Xxxxxx 2007; Xxx Xxxxxx et al. 2013). Such national differences may result in different effects of valorisation policies on the research community. The effect on funding of assessment outcomes in the UK creates a greater necessity for individual academics and academic communities to have an answer to the UK’s social impact policie...
