Both SPINlab and the department of Spatial Economics co-operate already for many years with the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (in Dutch: Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving, PBL). Researchers join PBL-projects and sometimes can use PBL spatial datasets, or PBL-employees participate in VU- and SPINlab-research or work on their PhD.
