… Zoekresultaten 5 juni 2012 door: J.M. Smits in Law The high position of Dutch universities is a small wonder in view of the ever-decreasing public funds available for fundamental research.

He will leave … emphasised that there may be a bleak future for Dutch academia if not more funds are made available for fundamental work – as Germany, Sweden and Finland have been doing in the last few years.
