Latest from PNN

The University of Groningen (RUG) has been present in the media for the last couple of weeks with recent further escalation connected to issues about academic freedom and social safety. PNN has followed these events with great concern and we are deeply troubled by the use of violence against students and staff who were peacefully protesting.

PNN launched a survey about international scholarship PhD candidates (beurspromovendi) in the Netherlands.

Het Promovendi Netwerk Nederland (PNN) heeft een rapport opgesteld waarin de promotiereglementen van vijftien Nederlandse universiteiten worden geëvalueerd. Zover PNN weet heeft er niet eerder zo’n systematische vergelijking heeft plaatsgevonden.

PNN is shocked by the invasion of Russian armed forces in Ukraine and condemn this gross violation of international law. We wish to express our solidarity with the Ukrainian people, including our fellow young researchers at our sister association RMU_Ukraine who are confronted with these horrific events.
