Commissioned by the ANV, the Association for Dutch-Flemish Cooperation, Dialogic, together with Idea Consult from Brussels, investigated 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:
- The Netherlands and Flanders stronger together towards Europe
- Engage in more dialogue to find a better balance together and moderate positions on both sides
- Collaboration in educational offerings can lead to more diversity
- Consider granting Nuffic authority in Flanders
- Successful collaboration requires energy, agreements, and funding
- Encourage structural collaboration between higher education and businesses and align the recruitment policy of international students more with the needs of companies
