  Strategic Plan for Astronomy in the Netherlands 2011 - 2020, written by the
Netherlands Committee for Astronomy (NCA), on behalf of the excellence research
school in astronomy NOVA, (combining the university astronomy institutes of the
universities of Amsterdam, Groningen, Leiden and Nijmegen), the NWO division of
Physical Sciences, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy ASTRON and the
Netherlands Institute for Space Research SRON. The Strategic plan outlines the
scientific priorities for Dutch astronomy in the next decade; the
instrumentation effort required to address these priorities, and the connection
between astronomical instrumentation and technology development and fundamental
technological R&D; the financial contours needed to realise the priorities; and
the role of Dutch astronomy in education and outreach. The Strategic Plan also
includes a retrospective on the achievements since the last Strategic Plan
(2000) and a forward look beyond 2020.
