INTRODUCTION

ECN (the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation) is the main Dutch institute for 
research and development of advanced energy techology. The status of ECN, both 
in the Netherlands and in Europe, is strongly connected with the importance 
society gives to energy R&D. It could well be that ECN presently stands at 
crossroads. With the guidance of the prevailing public and political opinions, ECN 
aims for a position somewhere in between an international centre of excellence on 
advanced energy technology and an innovative institute rendering high technology 
services to the national industry.
Having reconsidered carefully its present position, ECN re-organised its services 
and reduced its staff, concentrating the internal services on a limited number of 
fields of highly developed and specialised skills. A further measure was the 
decision to enter a new field of research activities, namely rational use of energy 
and materials. This is considered to be an essential complement to ECN's traditional 
research activities into the fields of energy conversion technologies (renewable 
energy, fossil fuels and nuclear energy) and policy studies.
