NLR (Netherlands Aerospace Centre) is a leading international research centre for aerospace. Our mission is to increase the sustainability, safety and efficiency of transport. NLR stands for practical and innovative solutions, technical expertise and a long-term design vision. We are committed to strengthening the innovativeness, competitiveness and effectiveness of government and business.

NLRs activities span the full spectrum of Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT & E). Given NLR's specialist knowledge and unrivalled research infrastructure, companies turn to NLR for validation, verification, qualification, simulation and evaluation. NLR thereby bridges the gap between research and practical applications, while working for both government and industry at home and abroad. NLR was founded in 1919, and employs some 650 people at Amsterdam and Flevoland.
