CROHO

In order to further enhance the quality of our education, in 2014, the university established the Collegiale Raad voor Onderzoek naar Hoger Onderwijs (CROHO) (College Council for Higher Education Research). Professors who are experts in education research participate in this council. The CROHO advises the Executive Board on research proposals in this field.
