Series: Conversations with the deans

In 2021, RE:NL invited all the deans of economics faculties in the Netherlands for a conversation. The goal of the conversation is to get a better understanding of the status of economics education now. The deans talk about the strengths of their university and programme, their goals related to their economics programmes, and they reflect on their programme in relation to RE:NL values.
