Mission & Goals
Nivel (Netherlands Institute for Healths Services Research) was founded in 1965. Nivel's mission is to carry out high quality research which has a demonstrable impact upon society. Nivel researchers gather, analyse and synthesize data and information to gain knowledge and insight about the quality and effectiveness of health care delivery and related social services, both in the Netherlands and in Europe. We believe that the knowledge we create through our research supports the continuous improvement of health and social care for patients and the sustainability of the health care system as a whole. Nivel's permanent staff consists of senior experts, all with a PhD degree, in various fields. At the end of 2025, Nivel had approximately 157 employees, of whom about 100 were scientific staff, and 57 performed functions related to research and administrative functions.
