Kennis & creativiteit als basis van onze samenleving.

Welkom bij de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen: hoeder en duider van de wetenschap in Nederland

<h2>Symposium in honour of Jaap van Oosten</h2>Can we imagine a world in which computability is built-in into the very fabric of reality? The answer is a resounding yes. However, it took us almost 40 years to get the first detailed picture of such a world.Our speakers will give you a scenic tour around such worlds of computability. They will introduce the relevant concepts and discuss the many amazing properties of such worlds.

De situatie van talenstudies aan Nederlandse universiteiten is zeer zorgelijk. Twee universiteiten staan op het punt om Frans en Duits als zelfstandige opleiding te schrappen. Ook andere talen als Chinees, Japans en Koreaans staan op de nominatie om te verdwijnen als hoofdvak. Om de voor Nederland noodzakelijke expertise te behouden en te borgen, adviseert de KNAW om nu geen onomkeerbare besluiten te nemen over talenstudies. Eerst dienen er landelijke afspraken te worden gemaakt over het behoud en de ontwikkeling van zelfstandige taalopleidingen. Deze vereiste is voor de studies Frans en Duits al opgenomen in het sectorplan Social Sciences and Humanities. De KNAW pleit ervoor om ook voor andere opleidingen tot landelijke afspraken te komen.
