Later but never too late After completing the final course of my MSc in Public Administration with a specialization in International and European governance, I am saying goodbye to Universiteit Leiden & moving on to Brussels. Fittingly to both my past and future work, I got to write my thesis on the (selective) use of expert knowledge in motivating the course of Dutch internationalisation policy for higher education over the last 12 years. I thank my supervisor Johan Christensen for all the support on an incredibly relevant research topic, grounded in the current government reforms to higher education. Noting how experts presented both pros and cons early on, and highlighting the importance of how that expertise was utilized to form today's policies. I graduated a bit later, but never too late. Because everything that I have been able do next to my studies has made the experience invaluable. Much has changed since I started at The HOPweek pre-Covid and graduated to board member in the midst of the pandemic. After which we slowly got back up again, and I started as chair of IncLUsion Leiden. Followed by 2 years in the University Council and a year in the board of LOVUM. I am grateful that I got to see it all and was afforded the time to do so. Something that many current students are unsure about, due to the cuts to higher education. But having the time and resources outside of your studies to add to a community, work a part-time job to pay your tuition, take care of yourself or take care of others, shouldn't become special. Taking that away does not improve the quality of education. It makes it less accessible and less inclusive. In the larger context of this new policy direction lies the question of how it will affect The Netherland's competitive edge and knowledge economy. How can we give our students and researchers the best chance and pool resources to keep innovating? We can only speculate what the consequences in another 12 years will be, but as my thesis has shown me; the consequences will still be there, even if we choose to ignore the warning signs for now. Now, exactly what that university of the future should look like instead, how we should involve students and staff, and how we need to look to Europe for increased scientific cooperation, I will soon further explore at my new job at Una Europa vzw in Brussels. Combining my love for international policymaking and education by working for the alliance of 11 leading European research universities.

Practitioners with passion as well as knowledge of different markets and the value to children and families. #internationaleducation #globalmobility #earlyyears #expats #dualcareers

ANZSOG’s Executive Master of Public Administration aims to take its high-achieving students out of their comfort zones and expose them to new ideas, and the challenges faced by other jurisdictions. The program’s 2023 and 2024 cohorts recently visited Wellington/Te Whanganui-a-Tara in November 2024 for a week of teaching and learning. EMPA Executive Director Dr Christopher Walker, PhD (UNSW) said the immersion had given students a deeper understanding of issues in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the chance to strengthen their bonds through presentation of the EMPA’s capstone Work Based Projects. “With a recent change of government and debate about the future relations between the Crown and Māori, Aotearoa New Zealand has a huge range of issues with relevance to other jurisdictions,” he said.
