ChristenUnie is a bit less strict, but does want to have a \u2018critical look\u2019 at study-related migration.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"text-lg md:text-xl\">Read more<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white! theme-violet:bg-white! theme-sand:bg-white!\n\tflex-row gap-4 @md:gap-8 p-4 @md:p-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image:w-full image:aspect-square image:object-cover shrink-0 size-17.5 @sm:size-21.25 @md:size-30 @lg:size-40\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377\" class=\"attachment-square_lg size-square_lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 2388w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-875x611.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-1600x1118.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-300x210.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-1280x894.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-1536x1073.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 1536w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-2048x1431.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 2048w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-150x105.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/05\/30120632\/Stock-illustratie-internationale-studenten-international-students_-Bart-Huijser-10-225x157.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139377 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 md:gap-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-md @lg:text-lg\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2024\/05\/30\/growth-in-international-student-numbers-slowing-steadily\/\" class=\"absolute-link text-current hocus:underline inline-block\">\n\t\t\t\tGrowth in international student numbers slowing steadily\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-4 items-center\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Gepubliceerd op:<\/span>\n\t\t\t<time class=\"text-sm font-soehne text-neutral-900\" datetime=\"2024-05-30\">30 May 2024<\/time>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<ul data-component=\"list-badges\" class=\"flex items-center gap-2 flex-wrap\" aria-label=\"Geplaatst in categorie\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-component=\"badge\" class=\"block-theme-violet:bg-purple font-soehne font-bold text-sm bg-brown-600 block-theme-violet:bg-purple text-white py-[2px] px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tInternationalisation\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>Volt, on the other hand, has a completely different approach. The pro-European party aspires to a socially united Europe that \u2018celebrates cultural differences and facilitates mobility\u2019 across borders. Education should include \u2018democratic thinking, media literacy and critical thinking\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>GroenLinks-PvdA and D66 also praise the mutual recognition of diplomas and certificates within the EU, so you can easily study and work in another country. D66 emphasises once again that internationalisation of higher education offers many advantages, \u2018for students themselves, for the education institutions <em>and<\/em> for the host country\u2019. But some countries, the democratic party feels, are getting so popular that the pressure is becoming excessive, so more of a balance should be created.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erasmus+<\/h2><p>Studying in Barcelona or Rome for a while? Everyone\u2019s fine with that. Exchange is different from migration, almost all parties agree. NSC, for example, writes in its election programme: \u201cIt is very good to spend a semester or academic year in another EU country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Erasmus+ is popular amongst politicians from left to right. CDA wants to make the exchange programme more accessible to students in intermediate and higher vocational education. GroenLinks-PvdA wants to raise the grant \u201cto give everyone the opportunity to benefit from this valuable initiative\u201d. D66 even wants researchers and teachers to also be able to go on exchanges through Erasmus+. Volt wants to increase the budget of the programme. VVD is particularly happy when Dutch students use it to go abroad.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More money for research<\/h2><p>A few parties want to spend more money on European research. GroenLinks-PvdA, for example, wants to shift part of the agriculture budget to research. Volt even wants to triple the European research programme Horizon and D66 and NSC also want Europe to spend more money on research.<\/p>\n<p>Other parties do not speak out clearly on the subject. The fight for the EU budget is sometimes summarised as \u2018knowledge or cattle\u2019. In other words, should the EU foster a knowledge economy at the expense of agricultural subsidies or not? Incidentally, the Netherlands receives a relatively large sum of money from the EU budget for research.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wishes for research<\/h2><p>Almost all parties do have ideas on themes on which more research should be conducted. NSC, for example, supports a European knowledge centre on nuclear energy. JA21 also wants this to be researched. On top of this, VVD, NSC and BBB provide a lot of space to innovation in the area of defence.<\/p>\n<p>CDA mentions health and water quality as research priorities, while Partij voor de Dieren is mostly focusing on sustainable energy. The latter is supported by everyone, including polar opposite BBB. BBB also thinks scientists should devote attention to agriculture and food.<\/p>\n<p>As far as D66 is concerned, \u2018open science\u2019 is to become the standard in Europe: the outcomes of publicly funded research must be freely accessible to everyone and not end up behind a pay wall. Partij voor de Dieren and GroenLinks-PvdA also explicitly mention open science. That is not to say the rest is against it. VVD, for instance, has been a great advocate of the transition to open science here in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lab animals<\/h2><p>It goes without saying that lab animals are a priority area for Partij voor de Dieren. \u201cEurope must lead the way in research without animal testing\u201d, the party feels. \u201cMillions of lab animals are still in cages for research. This causes great animal suffering and death.\u201d This should be over by 2030 at the latest.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SP has similar views. \u201cThrough the development of alternative testing methods, using lab animals will become unnecessary over time\u201d, is the goal.<\/p>\n<p>GroenLinks-PvdA and VVD also call for research without lab animals. They want to permit animal testing for now, but only if it\u2019s the only way to achieve an improvement of public health. For GroenLinks-PvdA, this is the first step towards a world without animal testing.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of European election programmes that don\u2019t feature the subject, although parties do have an opinion on it. D66 and SGP, for example, <u><a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fproefdiervrij.nl%2Fproefdiervrije-verkiezingen-2021%23c441df0bc4d9a6778&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cvertalingen%40em.eur.nl%7Cd93fff47d6f74b75afe308dc83b8671b%7C715902d6f63e4b8d929b4bb170bad492%7C0%7C0%7C638530076922649707%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=st5LbofqX0KQwHalwxOSYIjtwwALa3FzSO66stX2kjQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">do<\/a><\/u>\u00a0mention it in Dutch elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Denk, no FvD<\/h2><p>Denk is not taking part in the European elections.
