Budget cuts in higher education. Now what?

These are financially uncertain times for education and research. The largest cut to education since the 1980s was announced under the Schoof government. The Jetten government’s minority coalition is partly reversing its predecessor’s cuts. That’s good news, but how this will be achieved is as yet unclear.

Thanks to the coalition agreement, mid-2026 the outlook is slightly better than a year before. Even so, together with fellow universities, the UvA will continue to make the case for investment in education and research.
