Episode Synopsis

🚨 Dutch universities on high alert: Is the era of internationalisation ending? 🎓🇳🇱In this podcast, I dive into the funding cuts, student limitations and language laws rocking the Netherlands’ higher-ed system. To do that, I joined a strike in Maastricht to get the real story from those who live it and understand what’s exactly at stake—for students, for research, and for one of Europe’s most important innovation engines.💬 People I spoke with (in order of appearance):Carline van Breugel (AOb General Education Union) — Instagram: http://instagram.com/carlinevbJanousch Prinz (WOinActie Maastricht & Maastricht University) — Profesional profile https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/prinz– WOinActie: https://woinactie.blogspot.com/Rianne Letschert (President, Maastricht University) — https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/about-um/organisation/executive-board/prof-dr-rianne-letschertIlan Feron (MOSA student union)Melissa Siegel (Migration Expert, UNU/Maastricht) — YouTube channel:  @MelissaSiegelMigration
