Thematic Clusters

Overarching our three centres science and humanities, education and international affairs, which reflect our structure, we have defined interdisciplinary thematic clusters to further broaden our profile in the coming years: integration, in the sense of learning and living in a society characterized by diversity; climate change; and cultural education. These tie in with and build upon our existing competencies.

For each of these clusters we have set ourselves concrete targets which we intend to achieve through a combination of advocacy and practical projects. We will be investing a major part of our resources in these over the next few years.

You can read more here about the targets we are pursuing in our thematic clusters and about our projects in the areas of integration, climate change and arts education.
