Last autumn, Van Engelshoven announced<\/a> that the current experiment with PhD candidates on a grant would not be extended. From 2016, there were places for two thousand PhD candidates. These are not employed by the university but are given a grant. Universities were not keen on the experiment: the majority went to the University of Groningen (RUG), the main supporter of the experiment. RUG received permission for 850 student PhD candidates.<\/p>\n

The Erasmus University is also taking part in the experiment. In 2016, the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague was given permission to pay fifteen PhD students through a grant system.<\/p>\n\n\t
