The Humanities Sector Plan shows how the humanities faculties of ten Dutch universities want to strengthen their collaboration in education and research. The objectives of the sector plan are:
- to strengthen a robust and sustainable foundation for humanities education and research;
- to stimulate more interdisciplinary collaboration in education and research and collaboration with societal partners;
- to contribute to solving societal issues and strengthening the Netherlands’ international position.
Universities have made the strategic choice to give impetus to two interdisciplinary research themes, namely ‘Humane Artificial Intelligence & the Datafied Society’ and ‘Cultural Heritage & Identity’.
In addition, extra investment will be made in the field of education and research ‘Languages and Cultures’.
Below, we report the progress per theme.
