On the Agenda – Week 46, 2019
Take 1 –Education
In ‘Education’ deze week: hoe China steeds vaker het onderwijs inzet om de nationale identiteit te verstevigen. Hoe universiteiten in Hong Kong omgaan met de aanhoudende protesten. Protesten ook in Frankrijk, waar studenten het op het onderwijsministerie gemunt hebben en Spanje, waar de Engelse taalvaardigheid nog altijd achterblijft.

Walking a fine line: student protests are testing the diplomatic skills of Hong Kong’s vice-chancellors. But is it possible to keep the campus peace, placate both the territorial and Chinese governments, and protect freedom of speech? asks @JoyceLauNewshttps://t.co/5l8AesZWET pic.twitter.com/AV0ITb7oob

Take 2 –Research
Een groot onderzoek naar promovendi van Nature laat zien hoe kwetsbaar deze groep nog altijd is in de academie. De nieuwe plannen van Trump om grip te krijgen op wetenschappelijke resultaten aangaande klimaatverandering. En de voortdurende strijd om Horizon Europe en de financiën, in Brussel.
In our biggest ever PhD survey, students expressed widespread and deep-seated frustrations with training, work–life balance, incidents of bullying and harassment, and cloudy job prospects. https://t.co/bnGbwSGPOk

Absolutely key to approach your national PM and Minister of Finance/Budget : they are the key people to avoid this massive cut of 12 B € in the proposed Horizon Europe budget of 94 B € for 2021-2027. The arguments are available : https://t.co/xfZ8KFmax4 @GabrielMariya pic.twitter.com/MDgOVO0MJf

Take 3 – Italy
Venetië staat onder water terwijl klimaatverandering in Italiaanse klaslokalen een steeds prominentere plek krijgt. Een blik op Italië.
Veneto regional council, which is located on Venice’s Grand Canal, was flooded for the first time in its history — just after it rejected measures to combat climate change.#ClimateCrisisFL #VeniceFloods https://t.co/bwiPgA7cNp
