A series of sessions on the literary heritage of Anglo-Dutch relations (c. 1050-c. 1600) will be held at the Society for Renaissance Studies (29 June - 1 July 2021).

Onderzoeken en ontwerpen zijn twee vaardigheden die steeds belangrijker worden in de vakken O&O (onderzoeken en ontwerpen) en NLT (natuur, leven en technologie). Uit onderzoek van Tessa Vossen (ICLON en Faculteit Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen) blijkt dat docenten en leerlingen de relevantie van onderzoeken…
