The dilemma of the Dutch government is in stressing the importance of knowledge for future developments of society while at the same time facing budgetary constraints. Some new elements of the Dutch government's S&T policy in the 90s are described, which focus on tackling stagnating R&D budgets. First a general view of the Dutch R&D situation is given; second attention is paid to some analytical work on government R&D funding in the context of budgetary constraints; and third some new elements — priority setting, the interaction between science and society, and the current government strategy for fostering R&D and innovation — are discussed.
