Third stream projects

Third stream projects are funded by public or private organizations. The societal relevance of our research has been recognized by societal partners, which resulted in contract research to the value of over €1 million. Examples of current contract research partners are Johan Cruyff Foundation, Council of Utrecht, KNVB, NOC*NSF and various ministries. Also, Sport & Society is involved in several Erasmus+ projects, funded by the European Union.
