Every year, the Dutch government selects a hundred citizens to take a critical look at the annual reports of various ministries. This event is called the V-100. This year, a hundred young scientists were selected for the V-100; Robert Passmann of the UvA Institute for Logic, Language and Computation was one of them.

The V-100 takes place on the Monday after Accountability Day; this year it was on May 23. The goal of the event is to directly involve citizens in the controlling task of the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer). The participants in the V-100 come up with questions about the ministries' annual reports, based on pre-selected themes. These questions can be submitted by MPs to ministers prior to legislative consultations on the annual reports or during the plenary Accountability Debate on 9 June.

This edition of the V-100 focused on the scientific underpinning of policy and the interaction between science and politics. The selected young researchers looked at the ministerial annual reports from a scientific perspective, with special attention to the topics Labor market, Climate policy, Effectiveness of supervision and enforcement, and Implementation organisations.
