Knack: Prof. Filip Reyntjens (UAntwerpen) waarschuwt: “De Vlaamse regering wurgt een netwerk van soft power zoals er weinig bestaan — en dat voor amper €2,6 miljoen/jaar.” 25 jaar kennis & impact staan op het spel. 📖 http://bit.ly/4o6YHxz ✍️ https://chng.it/8DhtrFSBpm

Het gerenommeerde Antwerpse Instituut voor Ontwikkelingsbeleid (IOB) verliest per 1 januari alle werkingsmiddelen van de Vlaamse overheid. De beslissing van minister Zuhal Demir (N-VA) dreigt ook een domino-effect te veroorzaken aan de hele Universiteit Antwerpen. www.mo.be/analyse/eind...

Ik begrijp dat er bespaard moet worden. Maar fundamenteel onderzoek en de sociale en humane wetenschappen niet meer naar waarde schatten, is een keuze die onze toekomstige innovatie en maatschappelijke inzichten ondermijnt. Een opinie: www.linkedin.com/pulse/opinie...
