10jaars

10jaars is a Dutch term used to denote a period of ten years. It functions as a compound modifier, typically used before a noun to indicate duration. In formal writing, the most common spelling is 10-jaars, with a hyphen to connect the numeral ten and jaar. The unhyphenated form 10jaars is also encountered, especially in informal contexts or where hyphenation is avoided.

The term appears across multiple domains to describe lengths of contracts, subsidies, plans, or other time-bound arrangements that last ten years. Examples include 10-jaars contracts, 10-jaars subsidies, or 10-jaars beleidscycli. It is not a legal term by itself, but a descriptive descriptor used in official documents, planning, and reporting.

In Dutch, the concept is simply the numerical ten-year period; it does not imply a specific legal framework. Its usage emphasizes duration rather than content. When translated or used in English-language texts, it corresponds to ten-year (period/term).
