Internationalization of education, and specifically the intake of international students, is a hot topic in Dutch politics. This will also be the case in early 2023.

On 14 June 2022, Radboud University in Nijmegen and Maastricht University signed a collaboration agreement for both education and research.

Maastricht University and Radboud University’s teacher training academies are to intensify their cooperation to address the shortage of secondary school teachers.

The new programme will start in September 2022.
