Commissioned by the ANV, the Association for Dutch-Flemish Cooperation, Dialogic, together with Idea Consult from Brussels, explored new opportunities to enhance Dutch-Flemish cooperation in the field of internationalisation of higher education.
The research resulted in the following recommendations and considerations for universities, governments, and other stakeholders:
- Netherlands and Flanders stronger together towards Europe
- Engage in more dialogue to achieve a better balance and moderation on both sides
- Collaboration in the field of educational offerings can lead to more diversity
- Consider granting Nuffic authority in Flanders
- Successful collaboration requires energy, agreements, and funding
- Encourage structural cooperation between higher education and businesses, and align the recruitment policy for international students more with the needs of companies
