On request by the government, the Academy is responsible for the accreditation of research schools. A Research School Accreditation Committee (ECOS) has been created for this, which can decide autonomously on applications from universities for accreditation of research schools.
Assessment rounds have been organised on an annual basis since 1992, when ECOS was founded. Accreditation lapses after six years, when an application for follow-up accreditation may be submitted.

ECOS-protocol
The Academy has developed an accreditation protocol which sets out provisions related to assessment criteria and the procedures, formal rules and deadlines to be observed. A request for a copy of the Protocol can be send to ecos@bureau.knaw.nl. It can also be downloaded (PDF). Only the Protocol which the Academy distributes by post may be invoked.
