The SAIL
Foundation was established in 1996, and is the umbrella organisation
of six specialised Dutch centres of higher learning, all of
which are geared towards capacity building, education, research,
and advisory services. The institutes within the SAIL network
comprise: International Institute for Infrastructural, Hydraulic
and Environmental Engineering (IHE), Institute for Housing and
Urban Development Studies (IHS), Institute of Social Studies,
(ISS), International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth
Sciences (ITC), Maastricht School of Management (MSM) and Wageningen
University (WU). SAIL was set up to provide the collaborative
framework within which the member institutes can pool resources
and complement each other in terms of experience and skills. |

of counterpart institutions and research management are some
of the tools used by SAIL institutes. The SAIL Projects Bureau
has extensive experience with project portfolio management.
