Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership

1. Dutch universities receive funding from multiple sources including tuition fees, direct public funding, research grants, and industry partnerships. A large portion (58%) comes from direct public funding. 2. Between 2012-2015, performance agreements linked 5% of education budgets to goals for improving education quality and student success. The results in 2016 showed some progress but the indicators did not reliably measure impacts and attributing results to funding was difficult. 3. The current system from 2019-2024 allocates funding to universities to develop their own plans within 6 themes of educational improvement. There are no mandatory indicators and funding increases each year. Evaluations focus on involvement of stakeholders and realization of proposals.
