	Edsger Dijkstra on Universities
		The university is at the other end of the spectrum: it is the professor's task to bring the relevant insights and abilities into the public domain by explicit formulation.
		Universities are not part of the nation's security organisation, they are not the nation's research laboratories either: they are the nation's Universities.
		The University with its intellectual life on campus is undoubtedly a creation of the restless mind, but it is more than its creation: it is also its refuge.

	Historiography Dutch Universities
		The universities that devote attention to their history have the advantage that within the field of historiography, university history has become much more professional over the past few decades and has developed into a separate socio-historical discipline within which the practitioners are highly organised.
		The university historians who are affiliated with these organisations keep one another informed about developments in their specialised field, including the historical initiatives in which they are involved at the various universities, through the newsletter and at national and international conferences.
		A professor of university history was appointed at Leiden in 1995 to focus on the history of the university itself.

	TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION AND ICT; AN EXAMPLE FROM THE NETHERLANDS
		After high school a Dutch pupil goes either to vocational school, or to a type of higher education that is called in Dutch "hogeschool" but is named "university of professional education" abroad to prevent a confusion between hogeschool and high school.
		IJselland University is situated in the Netherlands, in the province of Overijssel as is hogeschool Enschede, University of Professional Education.
		The IJselland university; the SAB is the library for the 6000 students and the 500 staff of the university.

		After 1688, the Dutch Republic was to become a lesser factor in large-scale European politics; and its political erosion was paralleled in cultural life.
		Dutch eighteenth-century journals were published in either Dutch or French, and were directed to either a Dutch, a French or a more general public in Holland, in France or in Europe at large.
		Another problem of naming in Dutch is the use of prefixes such as ‘de’, ‘van’, ‘van der’, etc. In the Netherlands these are not regarded as part of the surname, although they are regarded as such in Belgium.

	From Dutch Pyramid Into Babel's Tower? -- Tan and Meijer, 2001-10-26, NETHERLANDS -- Science's Next Wave
		The Dutch PhD Student Union is preparing a report looking at the experiences of students who have terminated, or considered terminating, their contracts due to problems with supervision.
		Dutch research is still close to the top of international science, but an elevated position should give a better perspective on the neighbours' activities.
		If Dutch science is to have the longevity of the monuments of Cheops, those at the pinnacle of the pyramid must communicate with the newest additions, otherwise the danger is that it will slowly turn into a tower of Babel.

	Expatica's Dutch news in English: Dutch universities rely on foreign academics
		AMSTERDAM — Dutch universities are reporting a heavy reliance on foreign academics, with figures indicating that 20 percent of researchers come from outside of the Netherlands.
		Some 90 percent of foreign researchers at Dutch universities are younger than 40 and a large majority intend to leave the Netherlands again within five years, newspaper Trouw reported on Monday.
		Dutch university posts are filled by older workers, but these should be replaced by young researchers, the research centre said.

	Chronical of Higher Education Article: PUTTING SCIENCE TO WORK IN COMMUNITIES
		Dutch universities have established a network of 50 public "science shops" that conduct, coordinate, and summarize research on social and technological issues in response to specific questions and concerns posed by community groups, public-interest organizations, local governments, and workers.
		Universities, for their part, would be likely to discover that more directly serving communities is an excellent way to deepen popular support for higher education.
		Universities could alert potential clients to their centers' existence by including representatives from those groups on the centers' governing or advisory boards.

		The Dutch student culture of the late 1960s and the 1970s was notably unfriendly to a university planned to emphasize technology and orient itself to industry.
		In 1970, 60 percent of entering students in the Dutch university system chose fields in the social sciences and humanities; this number increased by 1985 to 66 percent, with the humanities the great gainer, moving upward from 11 to 18 percent.
		Some basic departments may readily reach out across formal university boundaries; new units that start out in a peripheral location may in time work their way into core standing; and some academic units such as research centers, cast in a nondepartmental mold, may be seen as half-way between core and periphery.

		Dutch scientists returning to their homeland benefit from their international experience "if they have been abroad in a country that companies trust and have had good results scientifically speaking," says Klasen.
		The limited number of Dutch students interested in studying science has forced the university to seek students elsewhere if it is to satisfy the life science industry's demand for scientists.
		Universities have started to contribute to that emergence by collaborating with private-sector firms on research projects and setting up multidisciplinary courses.
