Christian Ernsten and Zuyd University lector Ties van de Werff receive UM-Zuyd collaboration grant
Christian Ernsten and Ties van de Werff have received a €29,000 grant to develop a shared UM-Zuyd learning space in the context of MERIAN – an already existing collaboration between these institutions and the Jan van Eyck Academy.
The project aims to strengthen the knowledge-chain between bachelor-master-PD-PhD in artistic research. More specific it has two main aims: 1) creat a shared learning environment, where students and teachers from both institutions can fruitfully collaborate and learn from each other; and 2) create a better view of the enablers and barriers that come into play when collaborating on different institutional levels.
MERIAN PhD and Professional Doctorate (PD) candidates and members of MERIAN’s steering committee will contribute to the development and teaching of the shared learning environment.

On 15 October, education minister Bruins informed the Netherlands House of Representatives of his plans to reduce the number of international students in the Netherlands through the Internationalisation in Balance Act (‘Wet Internationalisering in Balans’). Maastricht University has serious concerns about this. The minister seems to completely ignore the need for appropriate policies that the education and business communities as well as the government of Limburg have constantly pointed out in recent times. Appropriate rules with an eye for regional differences are in fact a dire necessity to prevent educational barrenness in Limburg, and to train enough professionals for the tense labour market in the region and the Netherlands.
