We are excited to continue our Q and A session, this time with new UYA member Coco Kanters! 1. What is a word that you would use to describe yourself? Dynamic. I thrive in diverse environments and I get energy from interacting with different people and disciplines.  #academia

2. What do you want to achieve during your time at UYA? As an anthropologist specialising in organisations, I am interested in the inner workings of universities and identifying avenues for positive change, particularly in the transition to Open Science and Open Education. #uu

3. What is a fun fact about yourself? I have an almost eerie sense of direction. I can navigate and retrace my steps through dense forests and unfamiliar cities. If you’re lost, come find me. #uu #uya #utrecht #academia #research

Donderdag 14 November staan wij als UYA naast onze collega’s tijdens de demonstatie tegen de bezuinigingen in het hoger onderwijs. Deze bezuinigingen bedreigen ons vermogen om innovatief te blijven en kwaliteit te leveren op het gebied van onderzoek en onderwijs (1/), #onderwijs

(2) en zullen een negatieve impact hebben de volgende generatie, die een belangrijke rol gaat spelen in toekomstige maatschappelijke uitdagingen. We vragen de overheid om deze bezuinigingen te heroverwegen en in plaats daarvan te investeren in een sterke en duurzame toekomst.

On Thursday 14 November, we at UYA will stand with our colleagues during the demonstration against the cuts in higher education. These cuts threaten our ability to remain innovative and deliver quality in research and education, and will have a negative impact (1/2)

(2/2) on the next generation, who will play an important role in future societal challenges. We ask the government to reconsider these cuts and instead invest in a strong and sustainable future for higher education. #bezuinigingen #uu #education
