In addition, the office sets up its own projects and carries out external assignments, also European, for which subsidies are requested from the European and national governments or foundations. Results of the research is partly made public in the series published by the foundation, 'Nederlandse Faunistische Mededelingen' (Dutch Faunistic Reports). At the same time, the foundation distributes a free Newsletter.
