The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) is a society of eminent scientists that advises the government in the field of science, supported by the RNTW, among others. For example, the RNTW provides advice on all aspects of science in the field of natural and technical sciences. This council also plays a role in the peer review of KNAW opinions and in the nomination of experts for international advisory processes.
The RNTW consists of up to 20 members who are appointed in a personal capacity on the basis of their scientific expertise. They are appointed for three years, with the possibility of renewal for another three years.
