Marie Curie Excellence Awards uitgereikt

16 november 2006 | Vijf jonge onderzoekers hebben een Marie Curie Fellowship gekregen uit handen van de voorzitter van de High Jury, Jo Ritzen. Hij zei daarbij: "The challenge for Europe is to make its academic and research climate more attractive. The European nations have taken this challenge serious by valiantly adopting the Lisbon goals. But many European nations have embarked on the erroneous course of regulating its universities into a better climate, ignoring the evidence that its regulation might be counterproductive. As a former minister, now university president, I have seen with increasing concern the efforts in my own country to regulate universities into a behavior which is not improving the space for top academic thinking."
