The TO2 organisations are assessed on research quality, impact and vitality in a four-yearly evaluation commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. The most recent TO2 assessment took place at the end of 2020 and the evaluation reports were presented to Dutch House of Reprentatives. The reports are written in Dutch, with a summary in English.
